  • Impressive, a single word that sums up the Asus Xonar DX very nicely. I was very happy with the look and presentation of the card and despite its small demeanour it has certainly proven that it can punch well above its weight. Asus in their wisdom have re...

  • Asus put the Xonar on a diet for this latest DX version, dropping plenty of weight to squeeze it onto a low-profile card that retails for half the price of the more expensive D2X model. Some of the original Xonars flashier features didnt survive, inc...

  • Generic Opamps, Small bundle, No DTS features, Some minor sound issues
  • At this price point the Xonar 7.1 DX offers the user exceptional sound quality and a rich feature set which is both needed and expected from modern soundcards. The full line of Dolby home theater technologies further enhances the DXs sound processing ...

  • Abstract:  Back when your father was into computers, ISA was all the rage. Slots in your motherboard as long as a country mile. They were the days. But now it’s 2008. We’ve grown up. ASUS decided to take the leap of faith and put its enthusiast soundcard...

  • Abstract:  Asus has only recently started making sound cards, but the low cost of this card will probably have Creative Labs worried. Asuss Xonar cards are aimed at gamers. The Xonar DX slots comfortably into any PCI-E slot and is powered by a four-pin connec...

  • The slanging match between Asus and Creative over how close DS3D GX 2.0 really is to true EAX 5.0 is likely to continue, but we found it to be pretty effective during the Battlefield 2 test. One of our criticisms of the Xonar D2 was its less impressive...

  • Abstract:  While sound buffs were still left tottering from ASUSTeks previous entry into the audio realm via their PCI-based Xonar D2X, ASUS has instead, with nary a pause for breath, gone ahead with the release of another 7.1 soundcard: the PCI-Express bas...

  • Abstract:  E' passato quasi un anno da quando il colosso taiwanese Asustek ha fatto il proprio ingresso, e in modo quasi trionfale, nel variegato panorama delle soluzioni audio dedicate. Fu infatti nel corso dell'edizione 2007 del Computex di Taipei (dopo una bre...

  • Un anno fa il giudizio che avevamo espresso sulla Xonar D2 era quello di un buon esordio, viziato da alcuni limiti dovuti a scelte tecniche non sempre felicissime. Ci eravamo anche detti convinti che Asus, essendo il colosso che è, non avrebbe potuto...

  • Abstract:  Standaard scoort de geluidskaart qua gameprestaties niet hoger dan gemiddeld, maar wanneer GX 2.5 is ingeschakeld kun je bij vlagen drie tot vijf frames per seconde winst zien in het OpenAL spel Dirt 2.
