The road to high-quality audio can take one of two paths: the first being a set of expensive speakers paired to a power-guzzling amplifier, costing upwards of $1,500. This path is littered with the remains of sleep-deprived relationships and angry...

Asus' Xonar line continues its impressive lineup with the Xonar DG, proving to be an exceptional value at $30. It does a good job providing richer, fuller sound over speakers, but the built-in headphone amp is where this card really excels. With...

The ASUS Xonar DG didn't particularly impress in sound quality. Compared to the onboard Realtek ALC889, the only situation where there is a noticeable difference is when listening to music while the Dolby Headphones technology is enabled. Music is...

As we saw in the objective RightMark tests, the ASUS Xonar DG is an impressive entry-level sound card. It packs an extensive feature set that's often found in cards that cost several times more, but doesn't sacrifice quality for a lower price....

Asus has established itself as a player in the high rollers' hi-fi lounge with Xonar soundcards like the Xense, D2 and mighty Essence ST. Although still relatively new to the audio game, it can look old timers like Creative and Auzentech in the face...

Qua gameprestaties doet deze kaart ook niet onder voor de rest, geen van de kaarten levert immers significant hogere frame rates op. Voor deze prijs krijg je ook een versterker voor je koptelefoon tot 64 Ohm. Dat ligt wat lager dan bij de duurdere...

Xonar DG har en let installation, en god opbygning med massere af fede detaljer og lyden bliver meget federe i et hvert spil, og klare sig også rigtig fint ved musik. Jeg kan kun anbefale Xonar DG som et absolut godt køb til dig som vil have...
