The only other hardware you need for the test is a jumper cable with a 3.5
mm stereo plug on each end.
If I get a card like SoundBlaster Audigy 2 or M-Audio
Revolution 7.1, is that going to make my MP3's and CD's
sound better?
Perhaps.
Do they have a much better DAC than
motherboards generally come with?
Probably, but is it enough better to make an audible difference?
Is there anyplace you can download high resolution 24 bit
192 khz or 96 khz music on the internet?
Not a lot of it. the 44/16 .wav file format gets the job done, and is often
much better sounding than MP3s. However, a high bitrate well-made MP3 can
sound very good.
