If you want an amp + DAC very good look the Asus essence One.

I love Herbie Hancock. Whether in the period where he played with Miles Davis and then solo or with the headhunter. For me it's Mister Jazz / Mister Funk.  I also like the bass guitar and I found with Jaco Pastorius a true god in this area. He played with the band Weather report which I will...

Good question. I really like the office of Jude: small, clean and with everything you need to listen to their favorite music.

USB is backwards compatible. USB  3.0 supports USB 1.0 and 2.0. IT should not be a problem.  If there were one, manufacturers like Asus will certainly find a solution by proposing specific driver.

same with me.

If you speak about the audio chip my version is 0109 .

Nice review and lots of interesting information. Thank you Robscix.

Thank you for this information leeperry. Please excuse my ignorance but I did not know that cool regulators and protect the inputs and outputs could improve the sound. 

Thank you for that clarification Robscix. Personally I have not changed anything and I use my E1 without EQ.

Quote: You intrigue me.  You mean with a good equalizer setting? Or what else?    

Thank you for your response Robscix. I wanted to know if it was better to connect  the Essence independently or connect  the One Essence with STX.  Excuse my English very clumsy.

The Essence One is DAC and an amplifier it seems. Why include in the connection diagram an additional amplifier?  The amplifier included with the Essence One is so bad it takes around with the best amplifier?

I kept my Essence STX for my headset with microphone that I use in games.  Do you think the best way to get good sound is to connect the  Essence One with the USB or connect to my Essence STX?  Thank you specify because I'm confused.

Quote:   I use my  Essence One with USB and I found the sound quality very good.  I wanted to connect my Essence One with my Essence STX but we advised against it. So if you lose in sound quality with USB and lose also with other audio outputs present I do not understand how to...

Quote: As French, I love reading about dietetics from an American.  Regarding the explanation I totally agree. For me, the burn-in is get used to new sounds no magic that will transform your amp /headset that sounds better.  

I do not have many means of comparison, before coming on this forum and read your opinions and impressions i had never really interested in obtaining a correct sound. I bought an Essence STX, which give me a big step on the long road of amateur audio. I still practice my listening to...

My problem that caused a buzz is resolved.  I unfolded my E1 and i can not hear that damn noise. One of my elements external to my PC wasa slight interference.  I look forward to your impression, my modest experience does not allow me to make a correct opinion.

Hello, Sorry if it's a silly question but i'm not used to this kind of material: Is it normal that when the volume is 0 to hear a slight noise, which is accentuated if i touch the volume button? If i just turn the  volume button the noise disappears completely.  I am very pleased with...

Hello friends, I need your knowledge.  I have a Asus Essence STX sound card and Sennheiser HD6550. I wonder if this couple could work well with an M-Stage Matrix. If this sounds like a good choice, is there a vendor in particular that trust? Are there changes to be made for the Matrix sounds...

Available since this morning in some French online store. 

  I found this interesting little test: http://www.homemedia.fr/tests-guides/216-Asus-Essence-One-DAC-externe-0.html This Asus essence One  like me a lot but I'm afraid of being disappointed compared to my Essence STX mod. I do not know if the gain of musicality and investment will...

I called a materiel.net, they confirmed availability on the weekend or early next week.

Hello, I found this:http://www.chiphell.com/article-2089-1.html Translation will be welcome unless you are familiar with the Chinese.

The problem is that everything seems normal. With the original tube or other pops are still present. No transistor seems burnt. I'll take some pictures tomorrow. Thank you for your help.
