Would this would be an upgrade from the creative sound blasterx g6?

That depends, the G6 is a clean sounding dac/amp, surprisingly good for a "gamer" oriented device, people think creative, gamer type device and think its junk without trying it, its actually very good. Its has a high quality dac and amp. If you're using the k5 pro or g6 for gaming, the g6 wins. The k5 has no mic input so that is a major issue especially on console, pain on PC. Also the G6 can easily drive headphones up to 300 ohm, i mean really push em hard. For music both are good, the k5 pro has more power so if youre only using it for music and you have 600 ohm headphones Then k5 pro all the way. I have both. I was using my k5 daily until I got my schiit hel, now i use the hel as its much simpler to keep it hooked to my PC for gaming and music. My G6 is hooked to my ps4. The difference in sound quality isnt big at all, and software for the g6 is really good, you can do so much with it and tweak the sound to your liking. With the k5 you're stuck with no software, you cant save different sound profiles to it. Even if creative SB stops support for G6, we still have the current software which is good and theres been zero need to update it. Unless you have high ohm cans, you will likely be disappointed going G6 to k5. If its just music or you don't need a mic, k5 pro is very good

What cables doni need to connect this to my PC?

To connect to your PC you only need the included USB-B cable (looks like a printer cable). You will also obviously need a power cable (also included).

Will this improve the quality of music streamed from Spotify? I currently have my sound card setting to 24bit 192khz

No. Music streamed from Spotify will always be compressed. To really notice this Fiio DAC you will need a FLAC audio file and a good pair of headphones.

Do I need drivers for this to work properly?

If you have Windows 10, your computer will automatically download and install driver once you plug in the K5 Pro (and turn it on). However, I think this will limit to 24 bit and 192K. To get 32 bit and 768K, you will need to down load Fiio's own driver. Google "Fiio's Support" to find the driver.
