Designed by the CES-award winning ASUS Xonar team, this latest member of the Xonar D series is equipped with design features found only on high-end audio equipment, fully catering to audiophiles seeking to enjoy high fidelity audio on their PCs
- across all forms of entertainment including music, movies & games. The Xonar DS boasts 107d B SNR, which is 12 times clearer than most onboard audio solutions. By eliminating 91% of background noise, the Xonar DS lets gamers hear every detail in the game audio, allowing them to locate enemies from a distance & thus giving them the edge in their games. This noise elimination also leads to a more enjoyable movie watching & music listening experience, with previously noise-obscured sounds coming to life with the Xonar DS high fidelity audio presentation. The Xonar DS performs equally well in a wide variety of usage scenarios, delivering the best sounding audio in each situation. Vocal FX is an innovative voice processing technology that allows users to insert voices into realistic game landscapes (Voice EX), or inject audio &8216;backdrops into online chats (Chat EX). It also allows them to change their voice pitch to disguise who they are (Magic Voice). These features dramatically increase the fun of voice communication during multiplayer gaming & online chats. The Xonar DS offers a host of connectivity options & conveniences. It boasts an Intel HDA compatible jack-sensing front panel header which automatically switches signals from the back panel to the front whenever headphones are plugged into the front panel output. The Xonar DS S/PDIF output combines with the less utilized rear surround analog output jack, & the optical digital output adaptor is bundled in package. This means that users no longer need to purchase extra digital I/O modules, unlike certain competitors products. The Xonar DS has another onboard internal S/PDIF header, offering excellent digital audio to HDMI-ready graphics cards. Normal s

** Asus Xonar Essence ONE, Worlds first USB (Universal Serial Bus) External Soundcard & digital-to-Analogue converter with 8x symmetrical up-sampling & 120d B SNR.** The Xonar Essence One is a high-end USB (Universal Serial Bus) DAC with the worlds first 8x symmetrical upsampling, an extremely high 120 d B SNR, audiophile class headphone AMP with a full op-amps swappable function. With most modern audio signals stored in digital format, the ASUS Xonar team has catered to user needs & launched its first hi-fidelity USB (Universal Serial Bus) digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), the Xonar Essence One. It is an industry-leading high-end USB (Universal Serial Bus) DAC with the worlds first 8x symmetrical up-sampling technology. The Xonar Essence One also features a 120d B signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), audiophile-class headphone AMP & an eleven operational amplifier (op-amp) design for distinct tonal customisation. Whilst the majority of common up-sampling USB (Universal Serial Bus) DACs indistinguishably transfer various audio sources to 192k Hz, the Xonar Essence One up-samples 44.1/88.2/176.4k Hz input to 352.8k Hz & 48/96/192k Hz input to 384k Hz symmetrically (Note: 44.1*8=352.8k Hz; 48*8=384k Hz). As a result, data volume is also increased by up-sampling the bit-rate to 32bit, corresponding to the original content & faithfully preserving the details of the users music collection. The average SNR of other USB (Universal Serial Bus) DACs is about 110d B, but with at an extremely high 120d B SNR, the Xonar Essence One provides audio fanatics with clearer sounds, enabling minute sound details to be heard while significantly reducing noise levels. A dedicated power supply ensures that clean power is delivered so the sharpest sound is heard, with excellent immunity to noise from the AC line. The Xonar Essence One features a fully swappable op-amp design, unprecedented for a high-end USB (Universal Serial Bus) DAC. An op-amp is a vital part of a DAC that amplifies the analogue signal & affects tonal characteristics of the overall sound image. The Xonar Essence One allows the user to swap every op-amp that is ...
