This sounds too good to be true:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132020&Tpk=asus%20xonar%20dg
It's a soundcard with a built-in headphone amp. And it's only $30.00 USD. It also has a $10 mail-in rebate so that would make the final price $20.
I've read every review I can find on this card, it seems legit and the real deal. None of the reviews go into detail about the headphone amp though.
I did read one review where they did blind listening tests with some Sennheiser HD555's. Most of the people actually prefered the sound of this particular soundcard to more expensive models, including Asus' flagship Xonar Essence STX.
I just got a new computer and I'm using onboard right now so I'm barely holding myself back from ordering this.
Does anybody actually own this card or have owned this card and can give some input? Anyone else have some thoughts?
