Sure, at least they're making an effort. Trying to initiate an RMA with ASRock is frustrating—kind of like being ignored by someone you care about. If you're serious about sound quality, you'd probably opt for a dedicated DAC/AMP. These Realtek components are solid because they're isolated from the rest of the board. Start with headphones, such as those from Focal, and then move to a DAC/AMP later on.
For overall performance, the ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-E GAMING WIFI edges out the ASROCK X670E STEEL LEGEND X670E. It offers better graphics support and more robust connectivity options, making it a stronger choice for gaming and multitasking needs.

I think Asrock offers better worth compared to Asus, which depend too much on their brand name to push expensive items. Their motherboards are more affordable and they don’t force high VRM speeds that limit CPU performance.
The issue is pricing doesn't match value... those ASUS boards cost more than the ASRock ones. When it comes to hwunboxed being "industry plants," let's drop the mask.
