Hey guys,
I'm thinking of upgrading my work system and need a soundcard (or DAC) for work. For soundcard, it needs to be LOW PROFILE, that leaves few choices like Asus Xonar DX (should be OK quality, mods available), SIIG Soundwave 5.1 (not much info), Audigy SE (not likely any good). On the DAC side, I am already using a nice AlienDAC with BlackGate outputs but I might change the outputs to nicer film caps so it'll have to be quite a bit better to be a worthy upgrade.
Any suggestions? I'm also not much of a fan of buying DACs, I'll consider building an OPUS first.
