Hey Guys
 
I am new to the forum but i heard that if i have any questions about Music Equipment, this forum is my best solution.
 
I would like to ask for your advice on how to choose between Xonar Phoebus and Essence STX to go with my IE 80.
 
I am a mild gamer and mild music listener that have a bit of budget and would like to treat myself better with some high quality equipment.
 
Games i play currently are mainly crysis 3 and CS:GO and music are different but mostly acoustics and high range sounds like thepianoguys and sunghajung.
 
Which one should i choose?  
 
 
Xonar Phoebus OR Essence STX
 
Is Dolby 7.1 really matter to gaming ?
 
I used ie8 for gaming with on board sound for a long period of time and i am satisfied with the details it gave me so i went for the IE80 upgrade.
 
But then i heard that IE80 needs good quality sound card in order to unleash the beast, is that right?
 
Thank you all for your help and have a happy Easter :D
