Well yeah, because dedicated DACs have a tangible benefit of better audio. If you want better audio you need to buy a quality DAC and quality cans.
I also used to think it’s dumb because who cares as long as you can hear. But then I built a new PC and I don’t know if it was a faulty mobo or just unlucky setup but the internal DAC started picking up static. So I got an external DAC and what I noticed was that the audio sounded clearer and I could hear things in the sound that I couldn’t hear before. It was magical, it’s like someone added new layers into my favorite songs. I had taken the audio crack.

Soundblasters may be shit but the hardware they’re supposed to sell is legit, it has a tangible benefit to whomever can tell the difference. But with AI, what is the tangible benefit that you couldn’t get by getting a better GPU?

Just need the right name for it. Soundblasters are still being produced aren’t they? There’s always a market.
