    Asus Xonar Essence ST/STX complete Op Amp List

    Hi.  I have been reading through hours of threads but too numb to find some concrete data on these so called customizable/swappable Op Amps (or is it DACs or both) that are found on these fine cards.   Is there a compiled list somewhere?    If not, can we start adding to this thread to...

    Tour of Moby's Home Studio

    Pretty cool! I am impressed with the furniture that neatly houses all those keyboards and modules. I used to like his music back with Move, Everytime You Touch Me, Everything is Wrong but then his different styles (including rock stuff) make me drift away.

    Formula 1 (Jenson Button) :-)

    It was pretty exciting! Hey, the Ferrari almost burnt to a crisp in the pit lane. Wow, that was scary. And what was funny is Trulli getting mad at Sutil after the crash when it was really Trulli's fault. Rubens is unlucky alright. A win from him would have made the final race a nice decider...

    Just bought shure se310's and....

    I had the SE110 and went to SE420. I found that even the SE110 had enough bass personally but what I didn't like about them is that they had no highs at all. The problem with in-ears is that the bass is totally dependent on how far you put in the rubber or other type inserts wedged into your ear...

    How many times do you need to listen to an album before you're confident enough of your judgement of it?

    I usually need a good 3 times before I can say it is good or not. But sometimes, depending on if it among your favorite group for example, you will hear the magic the first run through. My only disappointment this year, for example, is U2 No Line on the Horizon. I listened to it 6-7 times and...

    Why is there no vbr for aac 320kbps on itunes

    I was always under the impression that it means that it will be around 320k at most but lower in cases where the music is very quiet and doesn't need that much sampling.... But, as I just loaded some 160kbps VBR in my Foobar2000 and watched the bottom caption as a song plays, it actually goes...

    Output Impedance questions and headphones

    I have an older NAD 304 amp (still working great) and its headphone jack has an output impedance of 220 Ohms. On the computer, I have an older EMU 1820 card and its headphone jack has an output impedance of 22 Ohms. With my 50 Ohm rated Sennheiser HD595, with which amp then, in theory...

    Michael Jackson which albums has best quality?

    SACD died years ago. I mean, I am an early adopter for all electronics and sound stuff normally but asking anyone to spend even just $100 on SACD player is just not a good choice for even the biggest MJ fan. If man (and audiophiles!) eventually decide again that CD-DA is not enough for our ears...

    Michael Jackson which albums has best quality?

    All of the main ones are good to have! They are inexpensive right now and pretty much in stock everywhere (after huge sell outs lately). Downloads are not audiophile choices (although my ears are happy enough even with a minimum of 192Kbps rate). And for the most part the albums at various...

    SendStation introduces the PocketDock LineOut Mini

    Hmm, I saw this and got excited at first, but I am not sure it will make too much of a difference to the average ear. I mean, isn't just a FiiO E5 mini amp enough to get better quality out of an iPod Nano/Touch or iPhone? Any technical details or test results would be appreciated.

    Anyone know where to start with a CRT TV repair?

    The danger is not really in a very few of the larger charged caps. It is in the anode/tube or flyback transformer pins, etc. where you can get 20,000 volts (which eventually discharges by itself in a few days or so though for most TVs). This can fry most of your hand/arm so that you have severe...

    Xonar Essence ST Sneak Peek

    I was wondering if any other news has been heard by Asus for this ST PCI card then? Still not available and I really want something new for my PC (I have a newer PC for gaming but I would rather put the card in my old PC which has no PCI-e bus).... Thanks.
