What type of sound card I could get that would play as good

[Pete]

I've post this in Technology & Troubleshooting and AmIdYfReAk
has already helped me with my other question.

What type of sound card I could get that would play as good as a home theatre system and I could plug my real home stereo speakers on it? Does it exist, a card with a powerfull amplifier, doesn't need to be a 500RMS, just like 40RMS but with a great quality of sound.
AmIdYfReAk answered -that depends on alot,
are you feeding it into an amp? or do you want to use PC speakers as your home theater?
-----------------
So, either ways would be ok.



Thanks

so in turn you are telling me that you dont have an Amp in your room where you want the computer...

i could tell you tons of speakers that would work, or amps and etc that would also work..


but the best thing that you could do is go into a few stores and see what they have to offer and see how it sounds.

You need to feed PC Audio into an amp. But most of the gaming-grade audio cards out in the past 5 years sound very good for the price. Avoid creative if you can, they're overpriced and underspecced. go for optical connections to the amp and try to locate the card away from other components in the case to minimise interference.

HDA are a good brand, and awesome value:
