If I'm not mistaken, the Phoebus is just an updated Xense with RoG branding, a new C-Media chip, and mostly lower-quality components and less customizability than the STX. In its favor, I haven't heard of any serious problems with the card once it's updated with the latest drivers, though I could be mistaken. I'm curious as to how the two stack up against each other in real-world performance. Ideally, I'd like input from someone who has used both.
I cannot seem to find any information on the updated version of ASUS's EAX emulator. As far as I can tell, it's just a newer number than GX 2.5 or 2.0. Does it, say, support EAX 3.0 or 4.0 emulation or better emulate EAX sound effects, which GX 2.5 had issues with? I know it's not particularly important to audiophiles, but I'm a gamer, so I'm a little curious, and I'm betting others who are considering the Phoebus are as well.
