Get a USB DAC. The difference is chalk and cheese.
Cannabis is safer than alcohol

Pardon my ignorance, but what is it?
Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
TV preachers sell salvation for a buck.
You don't need no golden cross to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

Digital to Analogue converter. A USB DAC allows you to bypass the soundcard DAC (which is very average) in your pc, creating audio the way it is supposed to be heard. Not compressed rubbish. Even makes YouTube videos sound great.

Heard they retail for $385 in Aust. About the same from the UK. I got one from Singapore for $300.
Couple of other options.

The difference is extremely noticeable. Can pick out individual instruments in Devin's wall of sound.
