My ASUS Xonar DX

Got a ASUS Xonar DX Soundcard

I never had my hands on any sound cards. I do hear some music but it doesn’t mean that I am an audiophile as such.

I had read somewhere in the forums that on-board is about the same as your onboard graphic support with no great performance while Sound card is a beast like the graphic card.

So finally made up my mind to get one for myself . I would like to thank my friend Greeny who liked this card so much that I decided to get one for my PC.

So finally I got one after long wait of 3 weeks. Perhaps I was the first person in India to get this card from ASUS with ASUS India warranty etc.

I was very excited when I got it.

I haven’t used the card to it to its limits. I tried many things with the card. Even the smallest change in settings was audible. I played all Hindi songs on first day. 2nd day was rock. Played all L.P n Metallica songs making my neighbors go deaf!!. Each and every word was clear n soothing to hears.

The quality of sound was not much affected at such volume which was quite amazing! Now I am calling all my friends at my home to show this devil.

Indeed a great card at this price tag I will say.
