Thanks, but I want to know which JRC op-amp is right-channel and which one is left-channel. Top or bottom?

It won't matter if you got a pair of opamps / opamp rolling properly. Two different opamps in the left and right channels is not a good thing at all.

It matters for me because I'm trying to identify which op-amp is possibly defective. Do you know or not? It's okay if you don't, I won't flame you

 Xaborus the  OPA2107AP's might work for you, tho I never heard the DT990/600ohm so i dont know for sure. they are Dip8, they like a cheaper ver of OPA627

Well I worked it out. The one closest to the edge is the right channel, if anyone is interested. Thanks guys

Is there any place that sells this thing for less than $170 bucks?

x2 on opa2107.  best I've tried so far.  dynamic, fast, bass is present.  Downside is treble is a little grainy to my ears, but I haven't burned in.  Good details also.

Anyone know how many watts this thing draws? I've only got a 500W PSU and I bet I'm pretty close to the limit

Would the Xonar pair well with an AKG k701?

So, If you'd have to decide between this card or external DAC/amp like Audinst HUD-Mx1,  NuForce DAC2 or EMU 0202, what would you say is the best?  Headphones are Sennheiser HD558, I have onboard soundcard now.

What are you finding lacking with the current ones, I have the same pair of cans and like it stock so far, but I may be missing out.

Quick question:
 
I thought I read somewhere that for the best sound quality the card should be mounted at the bottom of your motherboard, i.e. no other PCI cards should be below it.
 
Is this the case?  I want to put an aftermarket VGA cooler on my video card but that would cause it to take up 2 slots, and the only solution is moving it below the Xonar.
 
Thanks!

Yes it will, I using AKG 702  which is the same as the AKG 701 but with a detactable cable. I use high gain with the headphones. I use a pair of OPA2107AP in the I/V which works very well with them. So will the OPA827 op-amps.

Hey guys, I just got my STX. I set up WASAPI in foobar, but I'm having an issue where if Im navigating through folders in the operating system, the windows system sound plays for folder navigation (the click sound). This interrupts playback for a split second, and its highly annoying.
 
Anyone else have this issue?

I had this issue with wasapi and asio.  I simply turned off all system sounds.
