  I still have a couple of old sound cards kicking around. I'm thinking about having them bronzed and framed
  
  I haven't had a MB in several builds that didn't have excellent built-in sound.

  The soundcard is technological a decade behind the mobo.. I would guess that the mobo would at least have equal and likely better tech on it.

  Motherboards have pretty advanced sound cards built in these days, no need for one really. If you do music production or video streaming a cheap audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo would be just fine.
  

  
  

  Headphone amps are another story all together.
