I have questions regarding JACK. I just started configuring my surround and ran across it in the wiki. After looking at pros and cons here:

I don't know if it is for me or not. I have HDMI sound with an intel motherboard and a 550 ti discrete graphics card, which inputs into a denon 5.1 surround sound. Sound quality is important to me, even if it takes a little more work, but I want to know what I am getting into before I change my system. I thought others using Arch would be a good place to ask.

Jack is usually only beneficial if you're working with pro audio applications. It won't improve your audio quality in any way.

Could you give some examples of pro audio applications it would benefit from. I am always interested to learn more.

Basically JACK allows you to route audio from one application to another with low latency, which is beneficial when you're working with audio using multiple different applications. It's commonly used in linux based digital audio workstations.
So, If you're producing/mixing/mastering music or other audio, JACK is something you might want to look into. Although it's not something you definitely need either, especially if doing everything using single application.
