You have to build your own computer if you want a soundcard. Don't bother with FLAC and fancy headphones unless your computer has a sound card. Your MP3 player probably has better sound quality than your PC if you bought it prebuilt or neglected to purchase a sound card

To be fair, the ear is way harder to fool than the eye. The ear processes at something like 20,000mhz whereas the eye barely processes at 60hz at best. Realistically, closer to 40ish.

The eye can pick out individual frames at 60hz when in rest and 120hz when stimulated, don't talk shit. This is of course only refering to frame rate, as the eye percieves light in the frequency of 430-770 THz.

And it can't sense below 20mhz. It can only sense freqency and strength of kinetic pulses.

Probably true at this point, most dedicated audio players nowadays need to offer features that would make them more attractive for their purpose than multifunction alternatives.

I have like five SoundBlaster cards floating around. I took the newest one out of my primary system because CL's stupid drivers broke all of the inputs, making audio from stereo mix, line in, and mic all stutter. The Chinese Realtek BS on my motherboard works well enough.

To get DAC UP if it's not on your mobo.

Except that my headset has an integrated DAC.
Otherwise I assume that this has a good sound solution (never used it because I have no reason to)

No only do motherboards come with integrated sound cards, but graphics cards do as well. I have been using my HDMI port for sound since 2007.

You only need a soundcard or a DAC if you have very good speakers/headphone (with high impedance (OHM)) so that you don't have to max out all volumes just to get a decent volume level. An integrated sound card doesn't have enough amplification for highend equipment so they end up with very low volume if used with low-end hardware.
