    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    That depends from where you buy it. In my country, for example, it cost around 200-220 euros, from one store to another.

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    I want to mention that I have heard many people saying that the real music it's listening without equalizer, or another mode of sound correction . Personally I prefer to listen the music using the equalizer, where I like to dose the sound how I wish, meaning the high line, low or medium...

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    Well, after many searches, and some attempts, I stopped on an excellent configuration for me with a sound balanced on all three lines: low, medium and high. A sound very pleasant, warm with perfect accuracy and an SNR of 122 dB. And all these, obtained with 3x OPA2132PA (buffer + I/V)

    Well, I stopped at the configuration with  OPA2132PA, for buffer + 2x JRC2114D (the original ones) for I/V. For my 2.1 Corsair system, (and my taste, of course), sounds really great. Just changed the buffer.

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    Someone told me, to put for buffer: OPA2132P, and also to buy an LM4562NA, because is the same with the one I have now for buffer. And, he said me to do two tests:   1 - OPA2132P buffer + original JRC's I/V 2 - OPA2132P buffer + 2xLM4562's I/V (the new one and the original one, that was for...

    Same sound unclear as on the speakers. If someone could tell me which thinks is the best OP-AMP for buffer, and also to work very well with the default JRC's, I'd appreciate.

    - I didn't looked in the sound card, to see if some components are not in their place properly, but I'll take a look. - Yes I disabled on-board audio, and installed the modded driver UNi Xonar Driver - Don't know if the problem is with my Corsair, I put signal from my smartphone, and it sounds...

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    The problem is that I believe that I have problems with the buffer OP-AMP and not with the JRCs. The sound in my speakers, (Corsair SP2500), is somehow gutural, if I can say this. In headphone instead, the sound  is best of the best, clear like mountain water, and I know that for headphones the...

    The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread

    Hello everyone,     It is possible that this has been discussed already, but in over 300 pages is hard to find. If it has been discussed, I apologize, anyway, my question: to an Xonar Essence STX, which is the best op-amp for buffer, if I want to keep those two JRCs that came with the sound...
