I just got a Xonar Essense STX and I have to say it sounds amazing!
but,
My onboard sound (as well as my ipod) also sounds amazing. I have tested Many different types of lossless files and I can tell no difference between my onboard intel high def audio, ipod, or asus Xonar using my Sennheiser HD580s. Back to the store...
This is my 4th "high end" audio device I have heard, and all have the same results.
Despite the supposed need to amp high impedance headphones, I think its bogus. Spend money on good headphones.
