Re: Soundcards vs Onboard Audio - DEFINITIVE ANSWER?

The interferance outside of the box is something to consider too.

Analogue connections would be more likely to be impacted by interferance, so keeping the signal in digital form for as long as possible would be desirable. SPDIF or HDMI audio to the AVR keeps the analogue path as short as possible.
