This is an amazing sound card that you can ever have. First, it matched my Senheisser HD 600 beautifully. It really bring this excellent phones to the maximum sound quality. Second, you have all the output flexibility to all your audio outputs. It can be directed to your stereo amplifier for Hi-Fi setup. It also can be connected to your receiver for Home Teather experience. Third, the Dolby processor is really sound natural. Fourth,it can accept line in from your tuner/ ipod or you can put microphone for karaoke use. To summon up, it really bang for the BUCK! In terms of sound quality, flexibility, and versatility for this sound card. Highly recommended!
Actually I've been looking for such a product like this that should satisfied me and makes me happy with the better sound when listening music and see great movies with Dolby and DTS sound. I invested a lot time and money in purchasing various DACs and sound cards so far to find the better ones with easy to use, apply with other devices and convenient to set up to enjoy the music and the movies. This is the best one for me to meet these requirements, I believe. Of course I'll not stop my efforts in finding the better one in the future. However, this is the best one ever I heard various sound devices. Thank you ASUS!!
Many will say that sound cards these days are overrated and not necessary. This could not be further from the truth. The amount of extra details that can be heard is just astonishing when this card is matched up with an equally good set of headphones. I was not expecting much, but I was absolutely blown away when listening to music on this card for the first thing.

The sound card is great and my seller helped me save $80+ over other prices available. It lives up to its specifications and it was a simple install with Windows 10. It took 20 minutes from cover removal to replacement and driver/software install.

It's like having a high-end dac and a transport on a sound card! Works well as a transport with my raindrophui 4 x TDA1541 + HDAM output. Out of last few sound cards I owned this is by far the best sounding sound card I owned. My only complaint is it does not have the flexibility as the EMU 0404 in sound customization but it's just a personal preference and wont be missed because the sound quality of the Asus Xonar Essence is superb as a dac or transport. Previous sound cards I owned are the Sound blaster Awe 64 Gold, EMU 0404 Died and so many other cards I can't remember.
The very best sound card you can buy lots of power for what ever headphones you have but don't get one if you are only using inferior sound setups as the card cannot make a difference with cheap sound system/ Headphones.........

Ok, so I used to have a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4, which was okay at best. It was very bright. Sharply so. This combined with AD700's guaranteed that snare drums and such would absolutely destroy my ears. Like popping an innocent soap bubble with a bullet. And the bass was pretty boomy as well. But then I managed to get a hold of a Xonar D1 for less than $30. The difference was night and day. All of a sudden, the high end was under control and a lot less fatiguing and was much more pleasant to listen to. Pleasantly warm across the mid-range. I'm not quite sure how to describe the bass as I don't have much experience with audio comparisons and a lack of experience with higher end equipment. The best I can figure is that the bass may have extended a little lower, but I can't say for sure. In addition, a lot of the boomyness is gone, the bass is much more punchy and precise. Overall, I'm a happy camper. And I'm a little surprised at how much of an impact this tiny upgrade had.Read full review
If you an audiophile like myself you will absolutely love this sound card. I haven't tried any other op-amps in it yet since I was already blown away by how good it sounds. The software is nice with the EQ options.

I have a very high end audio system and much of my music comes from streaming music or iTunes. I also listen to CD’s and FM but there was something missing from my computer generated content. There are many other sound cards out there but after reading multiple reviews I chose the Asus because it was the only one that did not have driver conflicts with the motherboard. The music from my computer now has the depth and dynamics of CD’s. Installation was a breeze. I’m a happy camper.

amplifier to asus card with rca jacks is what I wanted. great sound is what I got. headphone amp is terrific - as well as being able to switch back and forth between 2 channel and headphone with desktop software is very convenient! no problem with windows 10 software or Norton security.
