Quick question, if I end up getting this is there a point to having a sound card in my PC, or would I be better off removing it and just using this DAC/Amp?

DJS162A sound card is basically a DAC and possibly Amp inside, everything else is advertisement that the company has pasted on. Stuff like "Surround gaming" or "EAX" are mostly just software that colour the original signal to get a 'different' sound. The only advantage i would say for a sound card is that they usually have output support for 5.1/7.1 speaker system. However if you're in the audiophile world you probably have a reciever for handling large speaker systems.
If you're getting this do not use sound cards with this as you will be using the onboard DAC of the sound card and just using this as an external amp. I would say most likely I would prefer the DAC of the DACmini than the DAC of a sound card.

DeuSCaNoNAwesome, thanks, I did get it for the 7.1 surround stuff a while back, but it's caused more issues than solutions so I've basically been using it in 2.1 mode, might as well upgrade to a better DAC.

New addition to the stable.

I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review

The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners

How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?

Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
