Ranger VII - SupremeFX, how good is it?

[drakelito]

Hey guys.

I'm about to buy new pair of headphones, and I was wondering how good the built in sound card is in my motherboard (Maximus Ranger VII).

The headphones I'm looking at, Sennheiser HD650/600 and Beyerdynamics DT990 have some higher ohm than my old Fidelio X2.

Do I need a new sound card or is the built in SupremeFX okey for now when it comes to these kinds of headphones?

It's nice to know that this question was on the mind of someone else too. I'm in the same boat, though the headphones I'm looking at are the OPPO PM-3 and my motherboard is the Hero. I couldn't find many details on what the SupremeFX could do beyond marketing flair.

Hi drake and Amy

The supremeFX is good, you can install sonic studio it has some cool settings/features as well as an equalizer.
