_______Gliemore Lite____Asus Xonar Essence STX]
SNR____>100dB________124dB for Front-out,117dB for Headphone-out (600ohms) dB]
THD+N__<0.006%______0.0003% (-110dB) for Front-out, 0.001% (-100dB) for Headphone-out

I won't say which one is better cause I don't have Gilmore Lite, but seems Asus is capable of outputing a bit more clear sound with less distortion.
