Headphone output reaches a fantastic 120d B SNR. Clean & consistent power supply Essence STX II uses a dedicated four-pin Molex power connection rather than drawing power from the expansion slot like other cards, & that means a cleaner supply of electricity. Optimized power delivery is further assured with high-fidelity low-dropout (LDO) regulators — unprecedented in the audio-card industry. As well, audiophile-appreciated WIMA capacitors deliver balanced sound. A high-precision clock is crucial to audiophiles. Integrated circuits are susceptible to heat & temperature changes, which is why Essence STX II

Includes:: a premium temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) clock source. It is an ultra-accurate timing technology that ensures ultra-low jitter.
