ASUS XONAR_DG 5.1 Channels PCI Interface Xonar DG ...
Just noticed this little gem on Newegg. I was considering taking a look at the Xonar D1 after taking my Audigy SE out (didn't have What U Hear... I rarely use it, but it's nice to have it available when I do... and I reckon today's onboard is about as good as an entry level card from the early P4 era anyway), and then I saw this for $20 cheaper (and the D1 is out of stock anyway). It would be nice to be able to use my PCI-E 1x slot for a DX, but I'd rather save $40 and use a PCI slot (they're not even native PCI-E anyway... more of a positioning issue with me being able to stuff it above my video card rather than below and having lots of free room for my video card to breathe).
Looking at a review I found here, it looks like it's got good quality audio, better than onboard anyway. Mostly I'm looking for a card that can put more power behind my speakers so they can be louder at a lower volume, but coming from a card that doesn't have issues. So my questions are:
1. Does it have a recording option like "What U Hear"?
2. Does it support a feature like CMSS-3D where I can expand stereo audio across my quad system?
And that's about it really.
