Hey there my fellow audio junkies.
The PC audio market has been churning out some great
new high fidelity soundcards lately. A good example here is the recent
release of the new Essence STX headphone card, which stirred up
the audio community and caught the attention of people who usually
look for external headphone amplifiers. The specifications,
component choices and overall sound quality
of this card cannot be ignored. The Essence STX is
one serious soundcard offering some amazing sound quality
for the end users.

Quite a good amount of you audiophile guru's may know there
were rumors of ASUS expanding the Essence Line-up
with possibly a PCI model.

Well audio crazies we have the engineering sample of
the Essence ST in ours audio lab today!

Ladies and Gentlemen and audio crazies alike allow us to
present the new Xonar Essence ST.
Let's take a look at this new sample straight from the ASUS labs,
this baby is so fresh you can still smell the solder dampening
off the card with fumes that could be seen as music notes ...

Whoa, now that is a nice looking piece of audio technology.
The original Essence STX offered a lot of great sound
quality and audio options for the price. However,
the lack of analog surround was disappointing to some and
some felt it made the STX more a niche card meant
for a specific market then a full fledge flagship audio
product meant for the masses.

這張與 STX音效卡不同的是，PCI版本音效卡增加了，
"多聲道子卡" 與 額外接大4Pin電源，該卡內部電源走向不在是與STX音效卡
橋接晶片不同，期待它的上市！ :)

才剛買pcie版=.=
我的pcie跟顯卡靠太近 好擔心它會過熱~_~

這張光是子卡就不少coco...
不過光是PCI介面的就更讓人想買...
電源設計部分也比STX好上不少
希望落在6000上下
跟團中XD

看起來這張有保有機殼音效介面的支援，

很好，就等這張了 :hungry:

STX 沒有那張小卡就要 6480 了
多一條CABLE+上那小卡
破7500應該是理所當然吧

CREATIVE 變得一點都不 CREATIVE 了 :mad:

不知道Creative是對自己太有信心還是放不下身段？
都淪落到幫Realtek﹝俗稱螃蟹﹞出強化版驅動程式了，
還是沒有在音效卡的用料上做改進，難道是怕其他家難賣，
招來反托拉斯？ :D

要不然以PCIe卡的設計，弟還反倒挺欣賞C牌短短的設計，
但看到上面的電容，呃 :jolin: ，再看看吧。

Creative是很有Creativity的，創意在於如何扼殺舊產品 :D

至於ＥＡＸ，遊戲本身寫的好定位就清楚了，EAX 2.0就很夠

用了，多在音質下功夫比較實際！

有這事??? :eek: :eek: :eek:

不知您是指哪件？

弟在想，有些內建X-Fi功能的主機板，例如Asus的SupermeFX功能，不知道是不是也是隻螃蟹躲在裡面 :ase

其餘純屬臆測 :laugh:

總之，在娛樂卡中﹝與Asus、Onkyo等比較﹞，第一眼印象，Creative的用料最爛，
應該是無庸置疑的 :p
