This is the bigger, taller, stronger, and more talented brother of the X-Studio. It has fully swappable OPAMPS instead of just the front two channels and a larger more imposing looking PCB.

But will I be able to hear Crysis?

[LinusTechTips]

@2008PS3 A digital connection to a quality AV receiver will behave like a sound card. Instead of relying on the $1 chip on your motherboard to convert from digital to analogue (all sound is analogue by nature), you are relying on a $500+ piece of specialized AV equipment to do it, and then amplify the signal.

That's what I do at home, so while I do use onboard sound, I only use it to output directly to a digital signal to my receiver, which does all the work.

What is a DAC meant for ..? Some people say.. use a DAC instead of sound Card

if i use headphones, does sound card like this matter too?? im thinking of getting this but not sure will it go well with my megaladon headphone

[WestCoastPCbuilder]

Is this better then the Xonar DG ?

[r4wan]

Hey Linus, do you think its a good investment on this sound card right now for 39 to upgrade from P6T SE on board for a 5.1 surround logitech X540? My main complain is that the rear satellites are so quite that I can never hear it. Will this give me more control over the volume of the rear satellites?

I have 9.2 system running on that soundcard
