I sold my Creative X-Fi Titanium HD a month ago. The reason is because I didn't hear any difference in sound quality compared to my integrated soundcard (VIA VT2021).
The music I'm playing is 1047 Kbps FLAC and my speaker is Swan HiVi M50W ($280).
Am I doing something wrong? Should there be any difference between them or soundcards are just marketing gimmick?
Thank you.
