How much you bought it now? Which xonar sound card?
D1 DAC can improve the sound.

I had the same impression when I test my new unit with the seller's demo unit. The demo/old one sounds much better.
You need to let the speaker "burn in". That's why nobody selling their used unit cause it sound better as it aged.  rclxm9.gif

Guys, i bought a new one d since nobody is selling their used unit. biggrin.gif

Tested for about 20mins, so far so good, but not impressed.

Currently connects it to my Asus xonar sound card. Does dac produce much better sound than sound card?

I'm using the Xonar Essence STX as well. You should break in your A5s for a couple of days.

I believe it's the best option now for this price range, unless you've found a better one.

ASUS Xonar is a DAC too, to be exact. Not sure about ASUS Xonar internal sound card, but based on experience, most likely it wouldn't sound as good as other external DAC. And I'm not talking about those that cost few thousands.

Yes, positioning can cause significant difference as well.

Definitely, especially if you need it to work wirelessly.

Are there any stores with HD3 demo units?

Deciding between the HD3 & A2+..
The reviews seem to describe the HD3 sound as 'more refined' vs the A2+. Keen to try them out before making a decision!
