Miss that era and wish that there were more options for PCI “premium” sound cards. All of the fancy DACs and audio interfaces are seemingly USB.

The inside of the PC is electrically hostile to good sound quality. Loads of electrical noise.

USB is an excellent use of a sound interface.

i had an internal creative soundcard some 5 years back. sound was pretty perfect with dt990 pro and sz2000. my current creative usb soundcard has more noise :(

What if I put foil all around it

You'd have to put it all the way around it, including near the connector. Obviously you can't put it inside the connector, but that's another avenue for noise to get in. Outisde the box of noise with it's own box of insulation is a much calmer place.
