I have had no problems with my 6 year old G1 Sniper M5 motherboard so I think I will stick with Gigabyte again. The Aorus Xtreme board looks like the one to go for unless the price is to high for what I need. I wont use the wifi or audio on it.

Just reading the specs on the audio for the xtreme. Looks good actually so maybe I will use it. This looks like it could replace a descent standalone dac. Hopefully someone will test it. The following is copy and pasted.
ESS SABRE reference DAC 9218
Support QUAD DAC™ to deliver superb 124dB DNR and -112dB THD+N.
True 2vrms outputs are capable of driving professional high impedance headphones and deliver professional line-level outputs.
Analog Volume Control delivers 130dB SNR at low listening levels by reducing noise as the audio signal decreases.
High-Res music. Supports up to 32bit 192KHz PCM
Provides surround sound audio and enables DSD music playback
Precise TXC Oscillator
Audiophile Grade Capacitors
Famous WIMA capacitors are used
Support up to 600 ohm headphones.
Looks good too.
