It did have terrible noise at 192 khz rates, but was good at 88 and 96 or less. My last desktop using Gigabyte MB had decent on board sound with measurements 3 or 4 db less good than these without the nasty jitter profile.

#Asus xonar dgx drivers reddit update#
Heaven forbid Microsoft changes its driver interface again and Asus doesn't provide an update for that future OS.
The ASUS STX II by the way, required custom drivers to work. USB interface is plenty fast, is plug-and play, and doesn't require opening the machine to use them. Ultimately, my strong advice remains to spend your money on external DACs. But isn't that what they were supposed to do right for nearly $300? Make a card that would sound good regardless of the machine activity? Measured performance is far, far below specification and in a number of cases, worse than my motherboard. At best we can say it is susceptible to differences in motherboards. The Asus STX II despite looking otherwise, has a number of serious engineering problems. Alas, I had not tested them for a while so went into this review thinking the situation may be much improved. Despite claims of high measured performance, I would routinely hear my computer activity through them. My experience with add-on sound card has uniformly been poor. It has a 10 ohm output impedance which is a bit problematic. Once gain, the Gigabyte B8 motherboard performs better and by large margin. The error is off the charts by the time we get to the limit of 16 bit audio (96 dB). And in both channels so differing op-amps in I/V state makes no difference.
