Will a sound card improve my sound?

[RiseDarthVader]

Currently I am using onboard sound and I am getting a AUD $250 sound card. Which apparantly can decode the lossless codecs and output through the analogue jacks. Anyway I was wondering if this would be a huge improvement over my onboard sound.

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely!

IF.... you have a good sound system hooked up to your PC, though.

If you have a receiver/system that can actually decode the lossless signal you will get awesome sound.

However, if your sound system is pretty nice already, maybe you should consider this...

It supports up to 7.1 HD audio.

Save yourself 210$! It even has a digital output. you can lose quality in the analog jacks easier.
