Product Description
Asus Xonar D2X is the world's first PCI-E interface high-end audio card featuring SNR up to 118dB. The Xonar D2X will undoubtedly provide your best gaming experience ever, with the intuitive DS3D GX to solve Vista gaming audio issues, and Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) for best voice communication quality. The DS3D GX extension in the Xonar D2X driver provides full support for surround sound and hardware accelerated features by translating DirectX to the DS3D GX standard. Gamers can enjoy DirectX gaming with hardware enhanced surround sound and EAX effects automatically and immediately after installation. The Xonar D2X also includes an innovative Acoustics Echo Cancellation (AEC) technology to facilitate the best online voice communication quality. AEC can eliminate up-to-40dB of speaker echo return and suppress noises that would otherwise enter the users' microphone - making the Xonar D2X the best audio card choice for online chatting in VOIP applications or online gaming. The ASUS Xonar D2X also features a signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) of 118 dB for both audio in and out - reaching the maximum limit of audio quality on most PC platforms. Unlike generic audio cards in the market that provide the highest SNR to only the front stereo outputs, the Xonar D2X is able to deliver 118 dB quality audio for all 7.1 channels. Besides delivering impressive audio quality, the Xonar D2X is also packed with multiple sound technologies from Dolby and DTS to deliver outstanding entertainment experiences. DTS Interactive for real time AC-3 encoding DTS NEO - PC stereo to multi-channel expander Hi-Fi class audio quality with SNR up to 118dB Dolby Home Theater Technologies & DTS Connect

i recently upgraded from an x-fi platinum edition. hooked up to a pair of mackie hr824 monitors, the sound coming out of this card is remarkable. clearly superior to creative's x-fi cards in every way. if you are an audiophile, this is the card for you.
Great sound card. You wont go wrong June 21, 2008
I am really enjoying this card. Make sure you have room its a big card.
 Card fails expectations May 5, 2008

First problem I came across was getting power to the card: The box didn't ship with a power cable which is ridiculous considering it requires a mini four-pin that has been impossible to find (even online). Anyhow I finally daisy-chained several MOLEX Y-connectors to reach the board. The last in the series is a Y-connector that converts to a mini-4pin. The card was recognized on boot but complained it still required an extra power supply. Ugh!
The drivers installed without any errors (I think) but the card is barely audible so I can't tell what could be the casue. I have every possible volume control max'd out but I still can barely hear anything. As well, the instructions show that for a 5.1 surround the rear speakers plug into the side channel jack...? Not only is this strange to me, but the rear speakers crackle when they do play.
I've been losing interest in Creative since they refuse to create a card that is truly a step forward (PCI-X, optical and SP/DIF, etc.), and I thought this Xonar would be the answer. Sadly it is not, so my search for an affordable alternative will continue.
I'm not telling you to avoid this card since others have obviously made it work, but if you end up suffering from similar inadequacies with this product then know you aren't alone.

This sound card is fantastic. I am so happy to see a company contend with Creative; Creative is good, dont get me wrong, but they need competition to make themselves more "creative" and drive down costs for the consumer. The Xonar D2X is Great for PC Games, recording, and Movies and is more capable than any Creative product to date at doing all three.
Great sound card April 2, 2008
Great sound card. Once you understand what your doing this sound card sounds great. I have this paired with my logitech z5500 and its the best option i think for Windows Vista. Recommend it for Vista users.
