I changed the Opamps out for some Burson Audio Supreme Sound and I am impressed with the sound quality and musicality of the PC now. It feeds my system direct, and sound really good and engaging.

Re: Asus Xonar Essence STX II

Thanks for the responses. I am running Logitech Media Server, using iPeng on my tablet to control the music side of things. Unfortunately I don’t have onboard graphics, so I will see if I can find a cheap passive card at some point. At the moment I am quite pleased that my €130 gamble is paying off....

Asus Xonar Essence STX II

I am in the process of building a music “server” based on an old PC I have and an Asus Xonar Essence STX II sound card.
