Gigabyte amps up audio for G1.Sniper Z87 motherboard
 

We've long been critical of integrated motherboard audio, which typically doesn't measure up to the quality of even budget sound cards (at least when using halfway decent analog headphones and speakers). Onboard solutions continue to improve, though, and high-end boards are taking integrated audio to new heights. Gigabyte's G1.Sniper Z87 is the latest example. It debuts at Blizzcon today, and it's loaded with more audio goodness than we've ever seen on a motherboard.
