My primary purpose for the setup is recording and mixing music so I use studio monitors instead of something a little more flattering to music, my DT-990s pretty much make everything sound good as long as it's mastered reasonably well(i.e no limiter crackling,distortion or pumping) and there's not a lot of harsh highs.

Someday I hope to upgrade to a Xonar card, but it would be a sidegrade at best; All I'd be getting out of it is modern driver support.
