One question: can the STU play two signals at the same time? To be more precise: source 1 would be music from my PC via USB in and source 2 would be my digital guitar effect rack ELEVEN RACK via S/pdif in.
 
The STU seems to be the perfect solution to combine all of that while still offering me a headphone amp for my beyerdynamics dt 880 pro. But it all comes down to the question whether it can play 2 signals..
 
Thank you so much for your help!

Like most DACs, the Asus requires you to cycle through inputs one at a time. So only USB or Toslink or coax SPDIF can be selected at any given time.... not two of them. I'm not aware of any other DACs which can handle two digital signals at once.

Wondering if the Asus Xonar Essence STU can do DAC and amplification of my Grade GS1000e headphones on only usb power or does it require dc power to be connected in order for it to amplify headphones?

It needs to be plugged in to the wall, this is not a USB powered device.

What do you think that the STU, can be better than a marantz cd 6005 in terms of sound?
thank you

What is the 5 Pin Jumper J3 near the Blue LED that keeps flashing. Anyone know what the 5 Pin jumper J3 does? And why isn't it jumpered?

Hi,
Does anyone have service manual for STU? I want to play with some caps.
