Sorry you're missing the point again. I am not doubting the Asus sound quality (afterall I am thinking of buying it). I am just wondering whether the Asus being specially compliant with Dolby HP will be any different, to say the Auzentech Forte 7.1, which could easily play Dolby HP through the PowerDVD codec.

But the key here ain't Dolby headphone, it's Xonar's superior sound quality making the virtual surround waaaay better than onboard, all the details are brought up and made a seriously realistic sound image. I don't know if it's a hardware Dolby headphone, but I can assure you that we just can't ignore sound quality when trying to compare sound effect. BTW, just saw this card awarded by a more gamer-oriented media - ASUS Xonar Essence STX Review |
