Hi,
I have a pair of Astro A40 (1st gen) thats connected to a poor X-Fi Xtreme Audio.
I would like a new soundcard and would like to try Asus, and from what I can read the Essence STX II is pretty much one of the best ...but is it overkill for my headset? Its pricey which is why I ask, but if some of you believe the difference in sound quality would be night and day vs. a budget soundcard, I would not hesitate buying it.
