If you don't care to validate your statement by actually posting real facts on Asus software being more easily fixable when compared to Creative software, don't bother.
Nope.

What i just witnessed (not this message per say but the last few) is an unfortunate side effect of type as a medium of communication, namely the difficulty to converse tone, which can lead to disagreements that were not intentional, i dont think you or Audioexcels meant any disrespect or harm to each other, but i feel it needs to stated in an obvious manner by a neutral party, namely me.
On-T@Audioexcels: the asus products have a few nice features, Dolby Digital and Headphone among a few. So that does place it above other sources in my books, I would say get the ST, or the STX and doing the Audio GD mod, it is still a viable option if your a modder.
Not be rude or blatant, but it seems you have the money to spend, so just pend it, i do think your over thinking it. You will be happy with the ST I am sure.
peace
Nope.

I'm sure it will do nicely, also dont forget to try the UNI-drivers if you dont like the stock, personally I dont mind either, but run both
I'm probably going to do the AudioGD mod myself, I THINK I read sumwhere that taming jitter my help with harshness, and ill be damned if I'm going to continue to listen to my beloved Denon D2k like this, (still need an impedance cable and sum opamps tho)
Where do you get the AudioGD parts from and how much are they? I had recalled that soon there will be a PCI-E native of this and a couple of other cards coming out. Maybe it makes sense to just go with one of them? My personal take on jitter control is that it is all system dependent and also how our ears hear it, what cables we are using, etc. etc. I heard the Audiophilleo in my system and it was literally unbearable to listen to. But in a different system, besides bad treble sound, it was super laid back/mellow...so I have no clue why or how this happens, but I do think some jitter control can help. A LOT?...well, that may be unnecessary or irrelevant, even worse for our system/tastes/etc.
I don't think the ST can drive my DT880 (250Ohm) properly, it only sounds marginally better/more neutral than my DT440.
Yes I tried max gain settings as well.
Is it not loud enough or...?
I think ST might like the 600 Ohm version better than 250 Ohm. ST has a quite high output impedance on the headphone jack, so you'd get a much better damping factor with 600 Ohm version. I've tried my friends DT770 600 Ohm version a few weeks back when I wanted to buy DT990, and wasn't sure which version to get, since I thought 600 Ohm will be too hard to drive. Well, it appeared to me that DT770 were plenty loud even compared to HD650, and they didn't feel like there's not enough power fed into them.
True that, well I'm after a non-harsh, smooth (almost Sunday chilled vibe) with lots of clarity and sound stage, bass should be +1 or +2 above balanced (if +4 is Hisound POP level, and +5 just destroys all the other frequencies.) so i think i'm going to be relatively busy.
With my Denon d2k it will be tricky, possibly easier with my AKG K242HD on the way
Hello all, I'm looking for LME49860 on my Xonar ST. Found that you mentioned LME49860NA, but in my local store I also found LME49860MA and LME49860NA/MA NOPB OPAMPS:
http://www.lemona.lt/index.php?page=search&filter=0&q=LME4986&option=0
What are the differences between these? LME49860NA is everything what I need?
For now I'm just looking, didn't purchase any of them. Big difference between w Pb & w/o Pb?
If I only want to improve sound over Edifier 2.0 setup, I need to change buffer OPAMP? I/V don't touch?
