I have prodigy hifi and x-fi.prodigy is superb. asus i never tried. But i would really want to try the onkyo. Theres a forumer whos modding it. I think its a bit pricey the onkyo (correct me if i'm wrong).anyone selling it in malaysia?

For music, i'd go for HD2, but cant say if compared to onkyo.

bro StratOS is selling onkyo sound card here:

and those gold capacitor on it, really sound like very high end.

Thanks mate. i'll look into it. have you heard/try it?

i didn't try it leh, no budget for it.

if u have the cash
Asus Xonar Essence ST

will be a good buy

how about the sound quality of Onkyo SE-200PCI compared to Asus Xonar Essence ST?
i think it cost more than the Asus Xonar Essence ST.

My fren had one he said its a very good soundcard but for the price tag its not really worthy it furthermore u require a very good setup to pair with it or its pretty useless

Mind to tell what speakers you have?

ST is correct... the part that connect to the mobo is PCI

So got two versions?
What the two connections beside the RCA ones?

woo, means the sound quality is better than the asus one lo?
currently using HD438 only.
and the asus xonar card is ST, since it is pci version.

ST card got clock to reduce jitter.

I have heard my friend who used to Onkyo card say its sounds good for vocal.

Sennheiser HD 438?

iszit?

Anyways, ignoring the troll, these cards do perform well. And well suited to be entry level soundcards for music.

No one here talk about modding but just sound.
