And from what I can tell, it's out-of-stock in Japan for the most part.

Some modifications for this card:

Wow can the caps get any bigger?

LOL... holy crap

is there a soundcard under there, somewhere?

 

[Sryzon]

WOW, is there any japanese comparisons to the modded EMU's?

or iany reviews of the card at all?
Im hungry for information seeing as it looks awesome

 

[Talonz]

Eye candy. If I'm not mistaken, I only see high quality Nichicon Muses and the Sanyo OSCON (also very nice). *waits for reviews*

 

[juni0r]

Are the stock caps also good? They are quite plentiful as well...

With the money spent on the modding, I rather buy a Lynx2 or RME Hammerfall.

 

[lan]

Certainly if you mod it yourself the Lynx2 and RME hammerfall are still way more $. So it's still not comparable. Since we don't know how this sounds like either, that's another reason we can't make a decision vs. other soundcards.

 

[juni0r]

One of the richer Head-Fiers should test it for us, lol

 

[PYROTAK]

did anyone test this bad boy yet, its already march.

 

[fokker]

I own the Onkyo SE 150 PCI card, about 200 hours into breaking it in (together with the Audio Technica ATH A900 and the AT-HA20 amp. The sound is very very good (better than everything I've heard before, SBLive, 1212, MSI K9n Onboard A97, and of course the IPOD).
No direct comparision tough, sorry, (only between the IPOD, Onboard system and SE150), but my impresion is that the SE150 sound is far better and of higher quality...
It is much more "audiophile" oriented, meaning that it is not a fully transparent card - feels warmer, and it's improving even the worse sounding MP3's... not sure how to explain this - somehow like the subtile difference between tube amplifiers and solid state, where you would "think" the tube sounds "nicer"... Noise is very very low and I think the only "hiss" I can hear comes from the amplifier (at maximum volume - you wouldn't dare to put some music on, it can seriously damage your hearing)
The provided software and drivers are the standard ones from the VIA home-page - they do the job and that's it, no fancy extra options - you don't need them anyhow...
Well, that's is - any questions - I can answer.
