Thank you for pointing out the typo . Post corrected. The STX is indeed a very good source and I myself use it in my speaker setup .The other source being the Maverick D1 , driving the K702s and other headphones on testing .

2 STX's different prices?

:confused:

One is the STX and other is the ST. Corrections made :).
 
^ We currently do not have the Xonar DX in stock but are trying to work out a good deal from Rashi Peripherals (importer and distri of Asus Xonar sound cards ) .
 
z5500 is 5.1. These are primarily for headphones and will output 5.1 through optical only but you will need the daughter card for 5.1 analog.
 
For 5.1 analogue support on the ST , one needs to purchase the daughter board separately. In case your Z5500 has digital in or optical in, it would be supported via the Optical and Digital out of the ST/STX.
 
We are currently out of stock on the Xonar STX and ST . New stock will be arriving shortly. We will also have Xonar DX and DG soundcards .
 
^ We haven't tested the cards yet but looking at the reviews the DG has got a very good rating on most websites and is suggested as a lot more Value for money entry level card than its competitors . We couldn't find any comparisons with the DX as such and also DX is technically a much better card and caters to a different segment altogether. Regarding the headphone driving power of the DG , we will have to wait for some feedback from users about how powerful the in-built amp is . But given the price of DG , we are sure its the best card one can get for the money.

As per the update from the distributor the ETA for the cards is as follows :

Xonar DG and DX - 7-10 days max.

Essence ST and STX - 3-4 weeks.
 
^ There seems to be very low or almost no demand for the Audiophile grade cards and maybe that is why Asus/Rashi isn't getting them in plenty .Last time also we were the only one's stocking the card after we bought the cards stocked by another dealer who couldn't sell it .

Anyways we will keep you updated and try to get them here as soon as possible.
