Weird. On the old STX there are two regulators (silkscreen component labels: U20, U24) plus empty outline on the silkscreen where another regulator could go (U34). On the STX II the U20 regulator (I assume this is still a 7805) is still there. Both the U24 and U34 spots are populated with two...

I wonder if this version will be just as moddable as the original. I have 2 AMB σ11's (1@12v and 1@5v) that I put together awhile back for the purpose of a dedicated PSU for my STX. I just haven't gotten around to soldering the MOSFETS and purchasing the transformers.   The different...

Edit: Removed for redundant information.

Newegg has the STX at $189 right now (March 14th). IIRC the price hasn't really changed since the launch of the STX. Looking at the pictures of the STX II, the only thing that seems to be different are a few passive components, opamps, and layout changes. If ASUS doesn't lower the MSRP of the...

ASUS official Facebook page posted the pictures.   What I can tell from the pictures: 1. MUSES 8920 as stock OP-AMP 2. ASUS AV100 Audio Chipset (Same as the ST, STX, and DX) 3. TI PCM1792 DAC - 28bit 192kHz sampling @ 132dB SNR. I think this is an upgrade over the ST and STX? The image...

 

Instead of creating an external PSU; do you think creating some kind of filter circuit that plugs into the molex then to the card could clean things up a little bit?

I am trying to put together a custom PSU for this purpose. I've done some DIY work before, but never messed around with power supplies. I have read a lot on the subject (here, here and here). I can design PCB boards so once this is done I'll release the eaglecad files to whoever wants it...
