23 ASUS Xonar D2x instllation

Only reason bought it was due to a very competitive price. This one is PCI Express model. Much much better sound than that over HDMI from Nvidia GPU or Z68 motherboard. Am still relatively new in this area so can't say much. Card is definitely very nice looking product with loads of accessories, nice software and decent performance. Has lights at the back when on so you would know even in the dark where to plug in your headphones etc.
