I don't use headphones but you can check the modi website to see if they have the required software
I'm p sure that the DAC I picked is doesn't need drivers

no what im saying is do you have high enough quality software to actually use the soundcard and do you have high quality enough speakers to warrant the sound card
if the software doesnt even put anything out above what the onboard card can do then theres no reason, same with the speakers
playing 128 kbps youtube rips on windows media player doesnt warrant a 100 dollar soundcard, producing actual music with programs like FL-Studio or maybe audacity or some stuff could warrant it
