I bought Sony XB 400 last week...loving it

I am using it on Logitech G510 (better than On board - MSI 890 GXM G65)


Will I find noticeable difference if I use it on sound card?
If yes, please suggest card under 2k

No.
Realtek ALC889 has enough power to drive the XB 400 unless and until you have a seriously discerning ear.
