Welp, posted it originally on a local forum, but got nothing, so I decided give a try on Steam forums (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=34979568#post34979568)  and here

There you go:
Hello everybody. Atm I'm using onboard souncard (my MOBO is ASUS H61) paired with a Siberia v2 (3.5mm jacks), though imo this combo is not offering good positional audio and bass. Already tried using the USB soundcard for Siberia v2, but it's awful. Keeping that in mind, I'd like to know if it's worth using the PC360 without any dedicated soundcard, or if it is better to pair it with some not expensive soundcard, or, still, stick with my Siberia and grab a decent dedicated soundcard. Below there are both screenshots I took that indicates my MOBO model and chipset, and the current audio device.

If you have some knowledge about audio and sh1t, feel free to recommend me something else, it would be really nice!
I'd really appreciate some in-depth explanation, if possible.

PS - I found out recently that my Nvidia videocard driver includes a HD audio driver too, not sure about that (what is the point of that anyway?). Welp, just fyi I'm using GTX 550 Ti, current driver is 327.23

Thank you for reading!

Already did it. I'm digging into this audiophile stuff, but can't understand much. So I'm stuck with waiting for responses from here and on Steam forums.

I have a pair of the MDR-V6 I use with my keyboard. The sound on them is pretty incredible, I recommend.
