Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Sound Cards (Internal)
This was my 2nd Essence sound card ... I use twin PC towers for onstage music synthesizers ... and I LOVE the improvement in sound quality as compared with the default motherboard sound ... online video instructions made installation easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I bought an STX II many years ago. Fabulous sound, easy install, a real ear pleaser. The card is getting a bit long in the tooth now and ASUS has not kept up with its update needs for the operating systems that most of us use now. Shame...

This is by far the best sound card with software I have ever heard. I have it hooked up to my home audio system playing songs youtube and it sounds great. Had no trobles installing the drivers on windows 7 Pro, 8.1 Pro and windows 10 Pro. Definantely worth th money.

Excellent audio card, I've read about these things for years since the original Essence a few years back. Great product if you prefer all your equipment to be housed in your tower, I don't have extra desk space for an external DAC. The audio quality is far superior to the built in DAC on my motherboard. I primarly use the system with a set of closed back studio headphones and the sound stage is wider than before. Little disappointed on how many clicks are involved in switching between the 1/4" jack and RCA output, it would be nice if Asus provided a quick switch from the task bar. They also need to manufacture these things with a SATA power plug, or at least come with an adapter.
