Asus Xonar DGX
I've learned a lot about this card over the course of using it for a while, so I figured I would write a review about it. Ok, some strange install issues off the bat - on windows 7 sp1, the initial install was finicky.
Pros:
- surprisingly powerful at high gain
- dolby headphone dsp
- optical output
- low price
Cons:
- somewhat high output impedance
- somewhat high noise floor
- equalizer lacks fine control

A worthwhile purchase
I bought the Asus Xonar DGX to replace the on-board sound of a Gigabyte H87M-HD3 motherboard. I can't tell the difference between the sound quality of the motherboard and dedicated sound card while listening through a Hi-Fi, although the Asus Xonar DGX can reach higher volumes, which was my main...

I bought this sound card as the mother broad sound card was bottle necking the speed of the computer and the sound recording of the mic phone was unbearable. Installed the latest software and drives from web site, turned on the GX mode and was truly amazed with quality of sound and mic phone input...

"Didn't think I'd need it, but I really did!"
I was looking around for a soundcard since I own a pair of Sennheiser headphones and a mate if mine said I wasn't doing it justice by using my onboard sound even though it could handle them.

Very satisfied so far!
10/10 would recommend if your on-board sound quit out like mine did. The sound quality is noticeably better. Only issues are no W10 drivers and it not sitting flush with my case but that could have been my install.
Pros:
- Affordable sound by a trustworthy brand
- Plug in and go
Cons:
- 1
- No drivers for Windows 10, but provided drivers work
- I believe the Vista drivers ended up working out of the three options
- 2
- The back panel was not sitting flush with my case
- not a huge deal, but its not aesthetically ideal

I bought this card because I had a constant noise from the built-in sound card, with this noise disappeared completely and I think I hear an improvement in sound quality with my ATH-M50. 10/10 because it did what I wanted and more, for a little money!

I've never used a sound card in a PC, and it is very apparent that I was missing out as soon as I started using this card. Great sound quality and makes me want to update my speakers to help it live up to its full potential.
Pros:
- -Great sound quality
- -Good user interface for managing front jacks
Cons:
- -Couldn't figure out why front jack was very quiet at first

Great Product
I came to Micro Center to get a sound card because the part of my motherboard that reads all the ports on the back was fried.
