After some readings about Audio-gd Discrete OPA i believe the best choise is the Moon in the Buffer section with my both LM4562 in the i/v spot.

Whats the distance between the analogue outs of the extension board and the ST? Is it enough to connect some serious plugs?

Yes. I have Blue-Jean LC-1 RCA cables plugged into the line-outs and they are pretty thick/bulky cables.

Thanks Shahrose.

BTW, it's been added on the official site : ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

but it says "Output/Input Full-Scale Voltage: 2 Vrms" so I guess it's true...and 600Ω headphones usually require something like 3 Vrms if I got it right..

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD555 headphones and have been waiting for this card. Now the specs are out, does this card seem like a good match for the Sennheiser HD555s?

I have no PCI-e slots so PCI is my only option. Also just found out about the HT Claro Halo which is another PCI card with an onboard headphone amp.

I am pretty hopeless at diy but changing thae standard opamps in the stx to the 3xLME49720NAs was very simple and an amazingly effective upgrade.

I have some LME49720HAs arriving next week to compare.

Thanks for all the useful advice.

Regards

Andrew

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I meant to post in STX forum. I am very much looking forward to an ST when released in New Zealand.

I enjoying this 2x LME49720NA I/v OPA627AU buffer that rob suggest to me to try. I use this combo for a long time.

Speaking of RCA cables I need to get some that isnt too thick thats flexable and then longer. As I got some from monoprice but in up getting them a little too short. Since they come out my amp RCA plugs sometimes because of being too short.

I was told by a retailer they are expecting to have it in stock in about a month here. No indication if the price is going to be around or higher than the STX price.

I have the HD-595's among other headphones and the card is a good match with them.
Actually using the HD555's you can also use the line outs which offer higher quality output then the Headhone out. Either are great sounding outputs.

IIRC, the HD555 do not require the extra amplification such as the HD650 or others do..
