Most likely any elCheapo prosumer USB class compliant audio device provides far better audio quality, than any onboard audio device. This is a prosumer class compliant audio device: https://www.thomann.de/de/focusrite_scarlett_2i2_2nd_gen.htm It much likely sounds thousand times better, than an onbaord device. This is a professional class compliant USB audio device: https://www.thomann.de/de/rme_babyface_pro.htm It for sure does sound thousand times better than a prosumer audio device. I don't know your definition of "audiophile", but if you want professional sound you need to use a professional device, that apart from the converters also provides a far better analog domain. Btw. an "audio CD" already provides not that good audio quality. What you need for high end audio quality are 48 KHz, btw. anything higher than 48 KHz gains you nothing, to the contrary, not matching pass filters could make the sound less good and at very high sample rates, the energy does increase, this means the noise floor does increase.
