Is this sound card good with the AKG 701 and also with logitech 5.1 speakers?

I am unfamiliar with the equipment you refer to. But I can tell you that I mounted the card in a mobo that has good on-board sound and the card makes a big improvement. Very pleased with it.

Great for any output device, just don't use it for recording. See my review for more details - the one I had and returned had a terrible buzz when using the RCA inputs.

There is no reason to think they wouldn't work with those headphones. There is a headphone plug converter to go to a normal stereo mini plug included. There are normal analog rca outputs and coax/optical output that could go to your Logitech speakers using a Y splitter from the analog, if desired. You probably want to hook this up to some nice speakers from a receiver at some point. I use some Logitech's for computer work/surfing from this sound card, and also split the output to a receiver for home audio. The outputs have left/right analog, coax/optical and headphone.

This card has outstanding clarity and sound. The AKG K701 and Q701 are both very good headphone and will sound great with this card. The card is going to sound great with any speakers you plug into it, the better speakker the better sound.

No. This motherboard doesn't need a sound card. Why pay so much if it didn't have quality sound lol

This is not intended to replace a sound card. I have the Creative sound card installed on my Vista desktop which works very well with my Bose sound system. The AXX is pricey, but are not most quality devices costly?

dependent upon your sound card input, this will work with a majority of lower end sound cards that have a stereo miniplug input. if possible plug into aux input but can use mic input as well

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...

I have run it with Sennheiser HD 800, Grado PS 1000, and Audeze LCD3. AK 240 plays well with any of them, but Audeze LCD3 is the best. I have used the AK 240 with these three pairs of headphones either as standalone or coupled to my Nuforce 192k DAC. The sound changes, but I would not say that it is degraded by interposing the amp.

These cards have better quality components and an integrated headphone amp. You might, but it will come down to a question of what you have for headphones or speakers as to how much of an improvement you get

I can't tell for sure. I bought that Sound Card for output mostly. The sound is great rhough. However the software included allows you do many things .Good luck

I'm not a hardware wizard, but the sound card is a PCI or PCI-E, (same card different buss configuaration), and has no connection to an AGP graphics card slot or an "onboard" graphics processor.

Don't know, but I don't think this is relevant. Do not forget, this is an interface NOT an external soundcard. If you run Windows, get a USB soundcard instead and use free VSTi's for the desired sound.

The sound card is fairly decent, great thing about this, is that Bluetooth option. Hook you up some Bluetooth speakers like I did and it's no DJs dream, but no problems in that field for me.

These are stereo (2 speakers) The drivers have a setting that is supposed to be like 7.1 but it doesnt work. I tested these against a set of Logitech G930. The Logitech sound great and in the sound test it seams like there are 7 speakers around your head, its amazing. These Sades sound like there are only 2 speakers a left and right. I tried all the modes in the drivers but nothing seemed to make a difference.

I can't answer for every kind of motherboard, but mine sounds great without a sound card. And I run it without any equalization at all.

I mostly use this card for headphones, however I would guess no to your question. Maybe if you plug the front panel audio into this card and plug your other speakers in up there would you maybe be able to do that. maybe ask on like head-fi.org as they will probably know much more than me. I also, do not own this sound card anymore, as my new motherboard did not have a pci connector :/ Some people might not agree, but after purchasing my new xonar essence stx, I would say this card is hardly any different sounding.

I've been using one for several months and really like it. I'm using Windows 7 x 64. My onboard audiocard seems a little weak on volume. This seems to improve it quite a bit.

It's a totally different headphone experience with the open-backed AKG's. I don't have the M50s, but I do have the ATH M40fs, and the K 701's are noticeably superior in sound reproduction quality. I've loved my M40fs's for years, but they sound compressed when A/B'd with the K 701's. When I mix with the AKG's and then re-listen through my monitors, the translation is very close across the entire frequency range. YMMV of course. I hope this was some help.

It has a standard PCI interface. If your board has that then it should work. It's a middle quality board. The driver is low quality but you can research the chip manufacturer and download the native driver with lower overhead but less features. You get what you pay for and this board is better than no sound, which is what I had. If you want a high quality gamer, research the different sound card chip sets and find a board with a high performance architecture.
