  • Superb sound, compact design, easy to use, reasonable number of inputs, an ideal solution for laptops or desktop computers with awful built-in audio
  • External interference can affect the sound quality, quite expensive
  • The noise issues on the Xonar Essence troubled us at first, but once we'd worked out the source of interference all was well. Do we expect this on audio equipment? No, not really. The issue is that Asus has gone for a smallish device, which is great...

  • Portable, Can be modded, Works with a wide variety of headphones
