People who didn't amp this little stuff please do not complain, I am now using this with only Fiio E3 and px100, and its already a very good combination.
Yes i upgraded from Asus Xonar U1 as well, but now only complain will be the user friendliness. I have to go to foobar to adjust volume, the asus does has it's own volume control.

Generally, sound more naturally, most importantly bass now is very clear and not overkill. Most computer sound card has the issue of giving fake bass to thump the gamer, and all this is killing the music. This card is dedicated for music, and the sound stage is also more comfortable that you could enjoy listening without feeling music drowning on you.

If possible, don't reduce the volume from the windows, let it be max( 0dB) and
control the volume over your amplifier. The volume control in windows is software
based, every 6dB of decrement will make you lost 1bit of resolutions. icon_rolleyes.gif

They probabaly need more power as the DAC doesn't have an amp in it.

The output Vpp of this PCM2704 maybe lower compare with onboard DAC.
Don't worry about it, you don't need so high of it blush.gif
