Gigabyte Black Edition boards are designed focusing around durability and reliability. The idea behind the Microsoft HD audio cert is to deliver transparent audio - and the 1150 not only does that (in theory) it's at least an order of magnitude better than human hearing.Today we are taking a closer look at Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard, aimed at the upper-mid range market at Rs.18K price tag. Why not include great audio on the board for a few dollars extra and save your customers getting nickel and dimed for after market DAC and head-amps? Of course some assemblers will try and skimp on the reference support circuit or make other mistakes but you'd have thought some of them must have got it right? I mean why not? Motherboard sales are falling as people move to smaller devices. At least using the supplied reference circuit. What's not too like? It even has a 2 Ohm headphone socket output impedance!! Out your heart out Pono! Now it comes as a $10 part on expensive motherboards. Even 5 years ago or less it compares well with boxes costing $150+. 10 years ago it would have been project studio quality and cost $500+. Up to 115 dB SNR on the main DAC What you would have expected in a high end/professional unit costing $2000+ 15 years ago.
Section 9 (~page 72-74) lists the analogue performance in splendid detail.

Here is a link to the Realtek product description page for ALC 1150 In sum, what are some good reasons to go with a sound card such as Xonar DGX when I have a Realtek 1150? > From what I've read, the Realtek number here is low enough that I won't ever be able to tell the difference.?

But if they are, then this is an area where the 1150 isn't able to use the full range available to the headphones. Xonar DGX: These Realtek numbers don't seem correct, but I couldn't find otherwise.

Realtek 1150: 40 Hz – 15 kHz,dB +0.02, -0.07 (not sure how to interpret this) > Realtek is more than good enough for my headphones? Realtek 1150: All I've found is a forum comment which said the Realtek has 2 Ohm output impedance, which is 1/16th that of the headphones. Headphones impedance: 32ohms (Samson SR850) Xonar DGX: 100db (headphones) or 105db (speakers) My onboard audio is Realtek ALC1150 (Sabertooth Z87 mobo).Īfter a bunch of reading, I'm happy to buy the Xonar DXG (because it's cheap and PCI-E with generally glowing reviews.)īut the question gnawing at me is: *why* will this Xonar be a step-up from the onboard audio? I think the following factors are the big ones, please let me know what categories I've missed. I don't have the surround speakers yet, but when I get them they will be sub $200. I will be alternating between 5.1 surround & Samson SR850 headphones (using the headphones slightly more often.) I just built a Win8 cpu and will use it for 50% games, 50% music. Hi everyone, total noob here but I've been reading audio threads on this site & others for a few days so I can try to ask an intelligent question.I will give you my scenario and am hoping somebody can give an answer which helps me understand a bit deeper than "sound card beats onboard audio every time".
