First question:
I have an Asus Xonar D2X sound card, Logitech Z5500 Speakers and a Sennheiser PC360 headset.
I currently have my speakers hooked up to my sound card with the analog cables. When I use my
headphones I plug them into the side of the volume control unit of my speakers. Would I get better
sound quality through my headphones if I plugged them directly into the soundcard or doesn't this make
a difference?

Second Question:
When I'm gaming I use Dolby Headphone for surround sound, but it doesn't really feel all that surround-ish
to me. I have the feeling that I'm getting much better directional sounds on my Xbox with the Astro Mixamp.
Shouldn't my sound card be able to do exactly the same? (I have it set on 8 channels > Dolby Headphone and
7.1 virtual speaker shifter enabled) Maybe its just me and my ears are going to hell!

Thanks in advance!

Everything is still running at stock speeds.

Logitech MX 518 and G500 are great. I'm not a big fan of razer products since I've had some bad experiences with it in the past.

Heroes of Newerth perhaps?

I built my first PC about 7 or 8 years ago.

Ugh.. I knew I forgot something, just ordered a new sound card. :| Should've saved some more money.

Now you unpack the rar files? :P

I've had some bad experiences with Razer products in the past so I'll just stick to my trusty Logitech gear. Aside from that I currently have a 5700 Dpi mouse of which I only use 3000 tops.

I went from a Turtle Beach Earforce HPA-2 headset to Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME. The Sennheiser
headset is so much better in both sound quality and comfort, I would highlly recommend it.

Paperboy.
