The LM4562/LM49720 aren't particularly bass heavy, your playback system also plays a major roll.


Are you picking up a H6 board when released?

If you want the most amount of bass without it getting sloppy, just stick with the default JRC2114D in the I/V.

peeeeew... i think the lme is not for my pleasure then ^^ i like BurrBrown Bass so far.

 

[ROBSCIX]

Burr Browns are always said to have that "burr Brown sound" as they call it. Which is usually described as big bass with glossy highs. the 2134 are perfect examples of the BB sound. If your still looking for the BB sound but want a better bass signature then the OPA2227 should be the next on your list. I would try out the LM/LME's also if your thinking about it as they seem to be a good fit for many and everybody like great bass.

Well then... maybe next month i order some 2227/2228 and LMEs. For now i am settled with my 2107 but i still have some LT1358 and LT1364 lying next to me ^^

Right now i have no plans to buy the H6 extension, but i like to have the option to do so

crossbone, what opamp config gave you the best/biggest sub-bass? I don't like to much upperbass since im getting tired of that.

Biggest Sub-Bass was with the OPA2134, but it's sometimes flabby/unprecise (at least with my HD650) 2nd Place is OPA2107/LT1057 both are similar concerning bass... but LT1057 has definately some more upperbass. The fantastic thing about the 2107 is the nice soundstage and the highs, i love it.
Compared to the OPA2107/LT1057 the OPA2134 has rolled of highs (veiled) and a very small soundstage.

Sure, I just enjoy the setup I have until I get bored and want to experiment.
The H6 is pretty cool if your going surround, as you have a seperate opamp for center and subwoofer, actually seperate opamps for every channel.
The option is nice to have but not evrybody wants surround.

Hey, can one of you measure how long the card is? I'm trying to figure out if it will block my video card fan. Thanks!

 

[crossbone]

The ST Measures 17cm from the Back of the Case to the inside.
+3 cm for the power plug on it

Ciao

hi there guys i think i may need to borrow some of your knowledge

basically i was about to purchase myself the essence stx then came across robs preview on the essence st so now im fairly confused

my uses for this card will be listing to loseless audio mp3's and audio cds
watching films and some light gaming all through headphones, ill most probably be using dr dre beats headphones although i may swap them soon for something better

any advice would be much appreciated

all the best guys

cheers

 

[leeperry]

hold right there, an Asus rep will be back w/ you shortly!

 

[ZeNmAc]

Is there any place that sells the ST that will ship internationally (to US) for a decent price? Or is it really expensive?
Or do we have to wait until they release it here

The OPA2277's the dual channel ver would work also, I decided I liked the OPA2277 PA's in the buffer with the LME 49720NA's in the I/V. I havent tried it with the OPA827AID in the I/V with the OPA2277 in the buffer with them.

the OPA2277 would also be a good choice for the I/V slots too
