Onboard vs xonar d1?

[Angel_Rex]

Ok, so I've done some reading and can't find a definitive answer -

I have a xonar d1 pci sound card and will be updating to ryzen in two months

I'll be going 1600x and this board
Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero

Now, most high end boards no longer have the pci slot my sound card takes.

So, do I go for the above board and use onboard sound or either buy a board with a pci like the asus prime x370-a and use my current sound card or... buy a new pcie xonar?

I'm using a mixture of 5.1 analogue headphone and ns1000 using Dolby headphone ATM.

Thanks in advance

Aren't there three PCIe 1x slots on that board?

Edit: Think I must be tired. Only just realised the D1 is the PCI version.

Gotten so used to talking about only PCIe sound cards.

Anyway; That board has SupremeFX, so hard to say how that will compare.

Indeed, hence why I'm at conflict!

HAHA, cheers

Actually, I was going to buy Asus Prime x370-a as its £125 is. I can't see how a £250 board can be that much better

Unless of course - the more expensive board has better audio etc than my sound card.

Edit- I could buy the Asus Price X370-Pro for £140 and a new sound card for the price of the Rog

Cheers all. Think I'll look at a cheaper board like the x370-pro and buy a stand alone card!
