It's the same as playing a modern game with onboard graphics and claiming there is no difference between an onboard gfx-chip and a PCIe DX11 card.

And you know what? I would believe you! Modern onboard graphics play modern games, just at lowest detail settings and crappy FPS. But of course, if you play the game on a 15" TFT with 50ms and 640x480 pixels monochrome, you won't notice a difference, if you have a DX11 PCIe card or an onboard chip.

Laugh all you want. I use Sony MDR-7506 headphones and the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 surround sound system. It doesn't matter the game I play - ROF, Arma2, DCS BS - I noticed no difference in audio quality going from my Creative card (it was an X-Fi, not an Audigy) to my mobo Realtek audio system.

That, and now I don't have to deal with all the bloatware and multiple audio control panels that come with Creative cards. Realtek's audio control panel is a hundred times easier to manipulate.
