HT Omega?

Does anybody have any formal or professional opinions on the HT Omega line of soundcards? I have had the Striker but am wanting to upgrade - but I don't know much about the newer ones. 

 

I've heard about some recommendations on the Asus STX soundcard but other than that I haven't heard much on any of the other soundcards. 

 

Are any of them capable of listening to devices such as PS3s to allow for headphone listening? Is the amp / opamp that great? 

 

Any input would be helpful.

Okay, I'm kidding, I don't know, lol.

 

A guy I know would go on and on about the Omega Claro or something.  Did a lot of opamp rolling in it.

Yea, I remember seeing a head-fier with the name "haloxt" and I believe he has done a lot of stuff with the HT Omega soundcard(s).

 

I have the Claro Halo and the sound is pretty amazing. I went from HD-555's + Soundblaster Audigy 2 ----> HD-600's and Claro Halo soundcard and it pretty much roundhouse kicked my old setup into the ground.  The stock op-amps for it are fine, but not the greatest.  I know the ASUS Xonar soundcards gets mentioned a lot here in this section, but just do some more reading and side-by-side comparison to get to your final conclusion.  I would also check the reviews on newgg too.

Alright. I also have the HD600s. 

 

Is it possible to use the optical input to feed the audio from a game console such as a PS3 through , which would then be outputted through the front speakers / headphones?
