Just got this Asus Essensce STX II sound card and I must say it is definitely "audiophile" quality. For me, this is the best consumer rated sound card money can buy! The sound on it is amazing and with swappable op-amps, the sound profiles are endless. I swapped the Muses 8920s for the TI op-amps that come with it. People said those give tighter bass which I would agree with. I plan on getting Burson V5i's to put in it as soon as I have the money. This drives my Sennheiser HD579 headset and some Samson speakers/monitors that I have. I plan on getting the Sennheiser HD660S as soon as I have the money or maybe pick up the 58XX off Massdrop . I can't recommend this sound card enough. Makes listening to my FLAC music files on my PC a blast! Go to amazon.com and grab one now!

While the headphone amp is nice to have, reviews suggest that at least some of these STX II cards fall significantly short of SINAD, dynamic range, and noise specs... Definitely something to consider. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-asus-stx-ii-pci-sound-card.4915/
