Decent Sound Card PCI-e ?

Hi Guys, just got myself a decent 5.1 Denon surround sound setup and the I find that the onboard sound on my Dell XPS 430, while isnt too bad (has optical \ coaxial inputs) , isnt the best either.

Are you sure you need a new sound card? If I were you I'd borrow a sound card off someone and test it out to see if you can hear a difference.
When using the optical output I've never been able to find a difference.
