Sweet some good info there. Was just lookin at cards the other day and shakin my head at that color scheme (asus).
Ive had power on speaker pops from a couple Asus boards as well, very annoying.
Someone told me they are getting good sound from usb sound cards as well. Any experience with them?

I've used the Classified and didn't feel a huge difference between that and the small sound card that came with the headphones.  I'm still debating and looking to see what is the best combination with a Sennhieser PC363D headset.

The only USB sound device I have used was a Corsair Vengeance H2100 wireless headset. It had decent sound but the headphones were heavy and made my ears sweat particularly in the summer. I really like my Sennheiser PC360s. Very light weight and have an open ear design. I lose a bit of bass response because of it but my ears do not sweat during the summer heat :D
 
I have been following Sennheiser's GSX 1000 binaural USB DAC/AMP development and might give it a try when they are available....

The Sennheiser's GSX 1000 & 1200 look pretty awesome I was just checking them out. I couldnt find anything about stereo sound, they arent just virtual 7.1 devices are they?
I use the Sennheiser G4me Zero's
 
edit: Amazons page says 24bit stereo audio (HD) so I guess yeah it would have to have stereo. Thanks for the heads up on this! kinda pricey though but im sick of using my rog front base for sound
