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!

great
Great sound card, the sound quality of my headset greatly improved. Only problem is the low volume on the front output.

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...

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'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

WOW! My ears were almost bleeding after using this!
Never had a soundcard before, I've always used the onboard Realtek and WOW what a difference! My headphones about exploded when I turned up the volume. Arma III sounds so realistic. Explosions actually made my headphones vibrate and my eardrums felt funny afterwards.

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

WARNING: Not Compatible with Windows 7
In late 2013 Microsoft changed the sound driver architecture in Windows 7, and as of 2014 ASUS still hasn't fixed the drivers for ANY of their Xonar cards. This causes the card to output sound at 8KHz with *massive* compression artifacts, no matter what the settings. It sounds like a bad Skype call.
Pros:
- Amazing hardware
Cons:
- Bad drivers cripple the card
