Asus Xonar D2X is the world's first PCI-E interface high end audio card featuring SNR up to 118dB. Xonar D2 provides intuitive DS3D GX to solve Vista gaming audio issues, and Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) for best voice communication quality, the Xonar D2X will undoubtedly provide the best gaming experience ever.  ASUS Xonar D2X -Solution to Windows Vista Gaming Audio Problems
With the introduction of Windows Vista, the whole audio architecture landscaped has been changed. This has resulted in teething problems for gamers - with the possibility of losing all surround sound or hardware accelerated Direct3D and EAX while gaming in the Windows Vista environment. To circumvent this problem, the ASUS Xonar family of audio cards utilizes an ASUS exclusive technology - the new DS3D GX extension in the Xonar D2X driver; to provide full support for surround sound and hardware accelerated features by translating DirectX to the DS3D GX. While other solutions like OpenAL requires special installation and game support, DS3D GX doesn't. Gamers can enjoy DirectX gaming with hardware enhanced surround sound and EAX effects automatically and immediately after installation.
Cleanest Voice in Online or LAN Game Chatting
The Xonar D2X also includes the innovative "Acoustics Echo Cancellation" (AEC) technology to facilitate the best online voice communication quality. AEC can eliminate up-to-40dB speaker echo return and suppress noises that would otherwise enter the users' microphone – making the Xonar D2X the best audio card choice for online chatting in VOIP applications (Skype, MSN, Google, QQ, etc.) or online gaming. Unparalleled Sound Clarity
The ASUS Xonar D2X also features a signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) of 118 dB for both audio in and out - reaching the maximum limit of audio quality on most PC platforms. Unlike generic audio cards in the market that provide the highest SNR to only the front stereo outputs, the Xonar D2X is able to deliver 118 dB quality audio for all 7.1 channels. Dolby and DTS for Complete Digital Home Experience
Besides delivering impressive audio quality, the Xonar D2X is also packed with multiple sound technologies from Dolby and DTS to deliver outstanding entertainment experiences. These include Dolby Digital Live: Converts PC or game audio content into Dolby Digital in real-time
Dolby Headphone: Creates a surround sound listening experience when using any set of headphones
Dolby Virtual Speaker: Delivers a vibrant surround sound listening experience from stereo speakers
Dolby Pro Logic® IIx: C reates up to 7.1-channel surround sounds from stereo or 5.1 sources
DTS Connect: Includes DTS Interactive and DTS NEO:PC
DTS Interactive for real time AC-3 encoding and
DTS NEO: PC stereo to multi-channel expander

I own a pair of Sennheiser HD595 and I was using them with an old Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I am not an expert, but I did noticed a HUGE difference from my motherboard chip to the Sound Blaster, but I literally noticed less to none difference from my $50 card to this one. I assume the difference is much more hearable with 'normal' speakers, but with such high end headphones....it's allready the best my ears can hear, I guess. I'd suggest getting something cheaper, or give the card a try before buying it if you really notice a difference (if you may do this).

This is a great sound card. very good sound quality, lots of good features. The LEDs in the ports are a nice touch when navigating in the dark.

I couldn't find anything wrong with the card. I noticed a couple of games didn't show it as supporting EAX but most do. Sound quality is way way better than the one that came with my motherboard (ASUS Maximus). I've always had issues with the quality of Creative cards and drivers. Creative = instability in my books. Asus on the other hand I've never had a problem. Very happy with the card

Great quality. Not as good quality as the X-fi Fatality in my opinion. Sounds a bit different but it's not bad or anything, I just prefer the X-fi for sound quality. The Xonar is way better with driver support in Vista 64bit than the Xfi though.

A fantastic card all around, crisp, clear audio, tons of ports and supported features, the software is a bit weak, as is the documentation, but this is a great sound card, no issues installing.

This sound card is simply amazing, I bought the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium FATAL1TY PCI-E Last week (X-FI has problems in SLI systems) and the DX2 card performs Flawlessly. The X-FI does not like SLI systems but this D2X has no problems with SLI setups.
