Yeah, but if i am to pay $200 more for high-end motherboard just for the sound, i better buy a DAC and an AMP, lasting forever.
generally no one is buying a high-end motherboard for the sound.. its for the overall better quality and configurations, but you also don't have to worry about having shitty sound
high-end motherboards offer almost nothing important these days, for average users like me. Almost 2 years ago when i upgraded my PC i could not find a reason to go above $300. And yeah in this price range, sound is still shit.
you get high end boards for the ports and the PCIE lanes. not the sound. even cheapo boards have very decent sound these days.
Mobos have strong EMI. Even with good shielding they are worse than a cheap DAC.
