Review on Enhance Your Gaming Experience with Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus Pure Edition Sound Card: Unleash the Power of SABRE32 Ultra-Class Audio Technology, Dolby Digital, & DTS by Stanisaw Chmielewski ᠌

Some write that they do not hear the difference with the built-in. Not every song has it - many bands don't record well from the start. It also makes no sense to buy an expensive card for cheap headphones, on the contrary, it is better to distribute the costs. And the quality of the files also plays a role - on mp3 128kb/s you need very strong hallucinogens to discern the advantages of a good sound card.
