Review : Easy Upgrade to HiFi
This is a very good card which installed easily.

ASUS have very kindly put the existing OpAmp - A NE5532P - on a socket.

For a cheap and easy upgrade that will greatly enhance the sound, Junk that cheapo chip (Worth about 50 pence) and invest around a fiver in a proper HiFi OpAmp - the LM4562NA - And be prepared to be blown away!

The detail promised by the original chip now has Warmth and Bass added, giving you an involving sound that you could listen to all day.

Get hold of some lossless audio files as well (FLAC etc) and Enjoy :-)

It's currently working in my desktop PC through a NAD3120 Amp and JBL Speakers.

The card will also go in a low-profile media PC, and I'm seriously thinking about forking out for another one for listening in the living room.
