They're still the old models though. They haven't had a new one in forever

My PC here has an AE-5 in it.

I got it mostly for the LED controls but the sound quality it produces is actually pretty good so I'm glad I did. May even get one for my other PC down the line because I like the results I got from it.

Get a DAC/amp/speaker amp/speakers. It sounds far better.
The only reason to have a dedicated sound card is for older PC games from that era that used EAX / OpenAL / etc for 3D sound, like Thief and Thief 2.

In which case it's been through a DAC.

All sound is analogue when it hits our ears.
