X670e Taichi, audio for gaming

I am building a new PC, with an ASrock X670E Taichi, which is supposed to have some of the best onboard audio available on any motherboard. I am curious, what would be the best setup for gaming and directional audio.

Currently I am using an Astro Mixamp Pro Tr with my old system. Would I receive any benefit from using this with the new MB or should just plug directly into the PC? Also, if I do still use the Mixamp, should I be using the optical input over USB?

The audio specs for the Taichi are below.

  • 5.1 CH HD Audio with Content Protection (Realtek ALC4082 Audio Codec)
  • WIMA Audio Capacitors (For Front Outputs)
  • ESS SABRE9218 DAC for Front Panel Audio (130dB SNR)
  • Individual PCB Layers for R/L Audio Channel
  • Impedance Sensing on Rear Out port
  • Nahimic Audio

THANKS

Depends on what headphones / speakers you’re using. If you find the audio to be too quiet you may need to use your external amp.

So the Mixamp will only increase the power output, not necessarily improve or diminish audio quality?
