2.1 Desktop speaker needed

[whitestar_999]

As far as i know any good speaker like swan D1080 IV/200MK II will sound better with even an entry level audio card like Xonar DG compared to on board audio on most motherboards.

Xonar U7 - 7.1 USB-Soundkarte

It is the best sounding sound card I had so far. For me even better than the STX

Thanks a lot.
Any suggestion for good audio card. Budget up to 8- 10k. It should be external USB card.
Does active speaker benefit from such cards? Is there any improvement in SQ?
Regards

Better ask at head-fi.org(link i posted above) as they are kind of specialists forum for such audio related queries.
