Neoseeker takes a look at the ASUS Xonar DG Sound Card



Looking for an actual sound card that will make use of any built-in surround sound emulation in your fancy new headset? We examine a possible contender that meets such criteria, the ASUS Xonar DG sound card. It's limited to 5.1 surround and uses the older PCI interface instead of PCI-E, but it's geared toward enthusiasts looking for a simple way to get emulated surround sound going on their rigs. The Xonar DG even has a built-in headphone amplifier, plus it's suitable for use in small form factor setups.

This little baby packs an integrated headset amplifier, while being small enough to fit in the low-profile form factor. It has four analog outputs as well as one optical output, not counting the front panel header made available on the expansion card directly.
