  • 7.1 channel sound, GX 2.5 audio engine, Unobtrusive driver, Small PCB, Excellent value
  • No Dolby Digital support
  • For improved sound on a tight budget, the Xonar DS is an excellent choice. With 7.1 channel sound and DTS support, it's a big step up from most onboard audio solutions. It also features a swappable OP-amp socket which is usually only found on high-en...

  • Abstract:  Although the Xonar DX has been around for a while, it's held its place as one of the best sound cards for £50 or so. With excellent continued driver support and a decent price, this little PCI-E card sets the standard that the rest of the budget sound card market has to meet, and does so with great style.

  • Let's jump right to the point of the big question that we all want to know. .. is it worth the cash you will spend on it? Well let's look at it this way; do you value high quality audio without static, buzzing, or hissing with clear sound at a good pri...

  • Requires external 4pin power to operate, Retail package doesnt include any cable
  • Asus new soundcard will easily cover the needs of gamers for 7.1 high quality audio. Comparing the Asus Xonar DX with the previous D2, the most noticeable difference is its lower retail price. DXs retail package is also less complete than its prede...

  • Abstract:  Asus has made it clear that they are in the sound business to stay. The Xonar DX was and is an impressive card. The move to PCI-e will help as more and more boards are moving away from the older PCI bus (not to mention putting PCI slots in unusable pla...

  • Requires 4pin Floppy Power Connector, Doesnt Support DTS Surround Formats
  • ASUS has put out a surprising strong audio card with the Xonar DX. The audio quality surpasses offerings from long standing companies such as Creative and even newcomers such as Auzentech. The DS3D GX is a real benefit for those who play PC video games...

  • Superb clarity and fidelity, Great performance for music and movies, Low-profile design provides flexibility, Affordable,
  • Hit-or-miss gaming performance, Requires external power supply
  • From my testing, its clear to see that ASUS Xonar DX pushes the performance envelope for a value-oriented card, offering most but not all of the performance of the audiophile-quality Xonar D2 and D2X cards - call it Xonar Lite, if you will. ASUS has...
