Great review. However, I missed some RMAA tests and a direct comparison with other cards. :)
There are a lot of talking about Uni Xonar here, but maybe not in a single thread. Try here first: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=338814#11
In paper, PCM1792A is better, but Rob said that he liked AK4396. Also, the user zen101 said in this thread that the midrange of AK4396 is better...
Which are very bad, BTW. I think that by default the Xonar drivers do a pretty good upmix, much better than X-Fi, IMO. So it won't be necessary to...
Very very interesting indeed. But unfortunately the sample didn't convince me as the matchbox and barber shop demos, probably because I don't a...
I was referring to LME49720NA model, but maybe both have the same bass behavior. Right. I'll look for this. I'm aware of that. 33,58 USD...
ROBSCIX, do you think that LME49720NA can decrease the quality of the bass compared to the stock JRC2114? I'm thinking in buy a pair of LME49720NA...
I agree with you, even having a Xense. But... I don't exactly agree with that. I also have a Koss PortaPro (around 30,00 USD!) and I think...
What you think about AD8066? I'm wondering if it would sound great with a Xonar Xense + HD650. I read that OPA2107 could be a great choice too....
Nice review. But I was expecting more comparisons with other cards, which I think is a great way to give users an idea of the sound quality, even...
It is not a bug, but I agree that Asus did a mistake in not allowing users to enable/disable this feature. Of course you'll like it or not...
I owned a XtremeMusic and I can tell that CMSS-3D works differently between Game and Entertainment modes. The Entertainment mode messes a bit with...
I'm posting just to say that I couldn't get an Essence ST + H6, but I've got a Xense. This a great soundcard. Thanks, ROBSCIX for your review and...
Although Xonar drivers have high DPC measurements, I think it's very solid. The default stereo upmix to 5.1, for example, is way better than...
Bitrate isn't the same thing as sample rate. Anyway, Essense has an internal CPU with enough power to handle all sample rates until 192 KHz in...
But according to your reviews, ST has a better DAC than Xense. It's supposed to make a difference even using headphone amp output, right? And what...
Thanks, guys. The dilemma between Essense ST and Xense is huge. I think I have to search for even more informations.
Thanks, ROBSCIX. I'll use the sound card specially for music listening and movies. About the H6 board, I've read your review and I liked a lot...
I've been reading a lot of reviews around the web, and at least by RMAA analysis there's no significant difference between ST or STX or even...
Sorry if I misunderstood the RMAA graphs. As I saw a graph like this... [img] ...I thought that the oscillation in the line of the Forte...
