Asus Xonar Essence STX ii - What to pair with?
Thanks mate, the onboard is disabled via BIOS, running the latest unified drivers and use RCA to my current speakers (HD3's). I use the lineout for the speakers and have my headphones in the headphone socket. I hate the dolby digital encoding option, so use it at 2 channels on the 2 speaker...- Freshage

Asus Xonar Essence STX ii - What to pair with?
I've got the mentioned soundcard with 3x Burson vivid V6 Op-amps which I've fallen in love with. However, it's time to expand my audio footprint, as it stands the soundcard drives some Sennheiser HD 650's for headphones and a pair of Audioengine HD3's for desk speakers. I'm about to buy a house...- Freshage

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
I'd like to give an update as Burson Audio have so far convinced me that they are a great small company. So the original order tracking still has no movement and it's now been 3 weeks since an update, the last being that it arrived in shipment hub in Singapore on the 7th. I reached out and...- Freshage

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
I've been in comms with them, credit where credit is due, they've been great thus far. I've stated that as long as there is an update to tracking, not even delivery, just an update then I will extend my request for a refund another 2 weeks. But it's not looking like an update will happen. Which...- Freshage

For those curious, don't buy direct from Burson Audio for Burson Op-Amps... Their postal service is all over the place. I ordered 3 V6 vivids through their site special offer and that was almost a month ago. They had to change courier and as a result, it went into Singapore post on the 7th and...- Freshage

Schiit Valhalla w/ HD650's + Xonar STX DAC
Hello all, I have an itch to buy something shiny, one thing that's always been on my mind is a headphone amp to pair with my HD 650's, I absolutely adore them but unfortunately the only thing I did (after replacing the STX's default op-amps) was set an EQ to heaften the lows a fair bit as...- Freshage

Question for those using this form gaming as well. The 'Game' mode sounds incredibly horrible. Truly. Is the 8 channels really essential when in hifi for gaming?- Freshage

Any other tips for the STX? My budget wouldn't allow for the STX ii, but from what I see, they are almost identical anyway.- Freshage

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
Awesome, just something cheap to start with really, to get me going and upgrade from there. The one down side, it's going into a micro atx build so having the shield off the card might cause problems, so I'd need it to fit with the shield on. Unless you feel it will be fine? So this...- Freshage

Yo! I just picked up an STX for £100 to put in my PC to power my HD650's. I enjoy natural sound over bass thumpers, any advice on an op amp setup? I game and music is #1 priority :)- Freshage
