    Advice for gaming sound card. X-Fi Titanium, opinions needed.

    Auzentech could be a better one and a real compete with ASUS Xonar. X-Fi is great but I think they should put much efforts on drivers update.

    Should I go for a USB Sound card?

    It could be quite difficult to compare between Xonar and X-Fi, coz each model has its fan, the price is much the same, the funtions have too many different...and so on. About the external DAC, I think some would like to choose it for much purer sound. If you need more features such as Dobly tech...

    Speakers for Asus Xonar STX

    Xonar Essence is designed for music enthusiastic, especially for its headphone amp. You might want to try a decent headphone under the price range you mentioned. As for speakers, some just mentioned Denon and Onkyo. I think they are good. But if possible, just borrow one from others to make...

    Anyone got ASUS Xonar Xense here?

    No worries. The two models focus on different users. Xonar Xense focuses on gaming users while Xonar Essence ST/STX on audiophiles. Especially, Xonar Xense might be bundled by a headset which might be more expensive than Essence ST.

    Some Xonar DS user comments/experience

    Well… I have to say that “sleek and friendly” is the term resulted from the comparison with Creative. It might not go too far that UI of ASUS Xonar is better than that of Creative. But, maybe someone has different opinions…

    Test my Cine5 on YouTube: Ironman 2

    Cool~~~ I have heard ASUS Cine 5 for a while but still can't find it in retailers. I think you should find some more good sources to test its suround and multi-channels sound instead of those from Youtube.

    Some Xonar DS user comments/experience

    @compor Ya, you did mention some points of Xonar DS but still miss other features which you might want to keep in mind. The AV200 HD audio processor which can also be found in the more expensive D2/D2X models assures a good audio quality from Xonar DS as well. I think this feature is...

    Opinions needed for ASUS Xonar D1/DX or DS

    Well, Xonar DX did have more features than DS. However, just as compor said “what price, what goods” you need to pay more for these functions of Xonar DX . About the Xonar DS, well, I was a little surprised by its swappable Opamps which is unseen in Xonar DX. But it’s true that DX owns some...

    The difference among HDAV1.3, HDAV1.3 Deluxe, and Xonar HDAV1.3 Slim

    Generally speaking, if you don’t have an AVR, get Xonar HDAV 1.3 Deluxe. But if you already got an AVR, things could be different. If your AVR doesn’t support HDMI 1.3 and can’t decode next-generation audio formats, Xonar HDAV1.3 Slim is still your best choice. Contrarily, you might just need...

    What rigs you guys use for Xonar Essence STX?

    Thanks for your sharing,. Some of my friends are also satisfied with this set (Xonar Essence STX + Sennheiser HD-650) in spite of the fact that HD-650 really costs much. Although no any official tests or experiments, it seems that ASUS Xonar and Sennheiser are perfect for bundle. That’s the...

    Why Sennheiser choose ASUS Xonar?

    I’ve seen a previous thread telling that Sennheiser will bundle its super gaming headset PC350 with Xonar Xense, but really I don’t know why Sennheiser will do so! Since I’m an owner of Sennheiser PC 350 and know that its impedance is as high as 150 ohm that few of audio cards can support...
