I think i am one of the first people here to get it, so i though i would post some initial thoughts   Build: the worksmanship is great, feels much less plasticky than i would have thought.  I pluging it straight into the usb on my win 8 64bit desktop, the card lit up and started working...

Somebody wrote on Amazon review of the H6:   Quote:   This made me want to move to NYC to be able to test the headphones before I buy them.   What are some stores in NYC that you can test many headphones? Or is there one in Boston? or any other big cities?

Hey guys.  Sorry for all the posts in the last few days, but all the questions I have I cannot find anywhere (maybe because there self explainatory and I know nothing about sound at all) .  This question, again, has to do with the Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card.  As many of you probably know...

I am just setting up my 7.1 system for the first time and found that I wasn't getting any sound from my subwoofer until I ticked 'swap center/subwoofer output' in the Asus control panel. The bass redirection is on and set to 80 (same as subwoofer (Paradigm DSP-3200) and receiver). My audio...

Been looking for the H6 expansion card and the only places I can find them are on eBay and here.   Did Asus drop support for the H6 card? Is it still worth getting for ST users?

I am wanting to buy a sound card, which will then go into a DAC, then an amp for my headphones.  It will also be used to send the PC audio to my home theater, any suggestions? (I have a pair of k702's, and am going to get a 5.1 channel Polk setup (don't know the receiver yet) (I'm also using...

Hello, I want to use my headphones and my subwoofer at the same time. At the moment, I'm using a Asus Xonar Essence ST in combination with the Asus Xonar H6 channel upgrade.   I can use my headphone or my speakers + subwoofer just fine, but I can't figure out a way to use the headphone and...

Hello Head-Fi,   I apologize that my first post is a question, but I'm merely looking for advice and some answers to some questions I have not been able to find the answers for by just crawling.   I've recently purchased a Xonar Essence ST (PCI) to replace my dead SoundBlaster X-Fi...

I currently have the Essence ST. Really like using it. I'm thinking of getting the Xonar H6 but I'm not too technical and really don't understand what all the numbers mean on the Asus website. I use headphones most of the time. My question is how big of an upgrade is the Xonar H6 on the Essence...
