Hi all, any recommendation on sound cards / DAC and headphone? budget not more than $200 and mainly for gaming and movie.

Anyone getting the ZXR instead?

I upgraded mine to that from Titanium HD

I'm actually quite curious, most people seem to prefer Z or ZX but not ZXR. In fact most reviewers cover these 2 models beside Newegg and CustomPC's reviews (which I watched 2x each)

Or is it really because its just recently available only thus why?

hows the sound? thinking of upgrading to zxr as well.

Sound quality is very impressive compared to my Titanium HD. I pair this up with my Aego M for time being.

FLACs in WASAPI (until ASIO gets sorted) sounds very good. I am not going to pretend to being able to listen to any discernible difference with ASIO vs WASAPI anyway.

Spotify works great as well.

Price is abit exp but since when money means anything to audiophile wannabes anyway

Stx can connect both speakers and headphone concurrently? If Yes, any desktop interface to switch output from speakers to headphone conveniently?

Yes you can, inside Windows can switch.

Yes you can, inside Windows can switch.

On top of that, you can visit MaxedTech - IT and UNi Xonar Drives for the latest third party drivers.

•Unified driver for:

◦Asus Xonar cards: DG(X), DG SI, DS(X), D1 , D2, DX, D2X, HDAV, HDAV Slim, ST, STX, Xense

◦Other C-Media 8788 audio chip based cards (C-Media Panel only): Auzentech X-Meridian & X-Meridian 2G; HT Omega Claro(Plus,2, Halo,e) Series ; Razer Barracuda Ac1.

This means you don’t have to wait months or years for Asus to release (the already old) new driver version for your specific Xonar model.

◦Note that it doesn’t work on the following Asus Xonar cards : U1, U3, EssenceOne, ROG Phoebus , D-Kara ;
