Hello everyone,
TL'DR.
Gaming Speakers vs Studio Monitors?
Best External Soundcard for Monitors and Headphones?
Can the soundcard support surround monitors?
Thank you for your time.
For quite a while now I have been using Logitech Z5500s. I always wanted high quality audio in the form of speakers. They have served me well, but I was a little underwelmed at first when I got them. But at the time I was using on-board sound from Realtek, I upgraded to a Asus Xonar D2X and still only noticed a slight increase in quality.
I have a pair of Sennheiser 598HDs headphones which I love but I only use headphones when I'm in chat with friends over microphone or gaming at night. The quality is fantastic and the only reason I didn't getting the Sennheiser 600HDs is because of a lack of headphone amp. Anyway I wanted to replicate this quality in speaker form.
My Z5500s are starting to die on me now and I'm thinking its time for a upgrade and maybe replace the soundcard. I want the highest possible quality, price is not so much of an issue but price to performance is perferable. I been looking into studio monitor, I just to do music production in college for 4 years and I know the quality of studio monitors are fantastic, however I heard some people saying that studio monitors for gaming are not very good. I seem to believe this is total bull because I wouldn't see any reason they wouldn't be since its only outputting the sound same as any normal speaker.
I'm also thinking of maybe having a surround setup of monitors in the future, maybe 5. 2 front sides, 2 behind, 1 center. But this is something for far future. Please any suggestion on external powerful soundcards would be great too. Anyway please give me your thoughts, is this a good or stupid idea?
Thanks for your time.
