Was quite impressed from the initial unboxing.
Visually, the quality of the card is very apparent, featuring a set of nice plated brackets and connectors.
The features included with the XP driver are excellent (product description lists most).
Furthermore, users of a Linux or BSD system will find excellent support from ALSA requiring little if any configuration (unlike some other creative companies).
And if one couldn't guess, the sound is superb.
Likely, this card will leave you wanting to keep tabs on other Asus products.
Great Product!

This is better than a great value! My computer is hooked up to my recreation room music system. The integrated sound card was supposed to be Hi Def. After installing the Asus Xonar DX card, the sound quality of my MP3s from my computer through my Yamaha System improved to levels beyond my expectation. This has been the BEST investment in my multimedia center ever; even without all the great added features this card makes available to the user!!
High quality sound, acceptable price

Value - While a bit pricey, this card sounds comparable to cards I've purchased in the past costing upwards of $200. Good deal for the level of quality.
Features - definitely a different approach to sound mixing, but in a good way. Allows for multiple uses from gaming to entertainment, to computer song mixing.
Quality - I have had no problems with this card whatsoever.
Performance - I record songs to the computer using this card and a Blue Snowball USB mic, and get incredible frequency ranges with no background buzz, distortion at higher volumes, or multi-track issues that sometimes occur with other cards.
Over all - If you are looking for a Med-High quality sound card and are somewhat technologically inclined, this is what you want.
Note - Drivers may have to be downloaded from the ASUS website, but are easily accessible.
Incredibly Good!

Very easy to configure with Asus Windows 7 drivers (download from website). Performance is really amazing. Points out how mediocre nearly all onboard sound chips are. If you are a critical listener and have decent headphones or speakers, you will probably like this card.
High-end speakers only, but worth it!

First off, read all the requirements for using this card. Last on the list, and probably most important, is that you need really good speakers to use this card properly. The reason is very simple: High-end speakers require less electricity to make a lot of sound, and this efficiency lets ASUS use lower-efficiency amps to achieve higher sound quality. This is the nature of high-end audio, and you can check with anyone to see this is true. You can't run car speakers off vacuum tubes, and if you ran Bose headphones off a car amp, your ears would explode. As for the card, as long as you have said Bose headphones, this is true bliss. Sound is clean, powerful, and enveloping, without being overpowering or beamy. Truly for audiophile gamers, and priced for everyone else. Only buy if you are picky and have speakers to match, but you'll be glad you did!

First off, the quality and massive features that come with this card are second to none when it comes to on-board vs this. However if you don't have some good knowledge in DIY tweaking, this product could drive you to return it and get a more hands off simple plug and play. Remember to turn off on-board audio or else you could get problems. Unlike Graphic cards, this sound card does not auto prioritize upon installation. Be careful of third party codec in videos, or applications like classic media player or VLC. The initial drivers that come with this will cause Blue Screen and force a restart if you run some videos with related odd codecs. Updating the drivers and looking for a better ffshow version solved the problem. Don't go experimenting with this cards audio enhancements(namely the 1:10 amp that my on board didn't have) without good speakers, it could blow them. A bit pricey, but a all around good product if you know what your doing when installing it.
Awsome Sound Card!

Not as easy to configure speaker system with this audio card. Some speakers have sound and some do not. Did not experience this with the sound blasters.
Beats any integrated sound hands down.

The integrated sound on my computer was very poor.
After reading the reviews, I installed the Asus Xonar DX PCIe 7.1 sound card, and what a difference. Now I have great bass and all of the tones are great. The equalizer and tone presets are very useful. The user presets are great because you can have your own presets for every kind of music or TV sound. Great product.
