Hey andy i had a look into the dx and d2 (dont kno if the d1 and dx are the same in my list) but the d2 in my list has only 2db more sensetivety and more input ports which i highly doubt your gonna need and then its double the price of the dx, i wonder how they justify that

I read that the D2 has a better audio chip then the D1/DX. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this

Okay no success its the xonar essence that was reviewed, as for earphones, the sennhheiser pc350 are the best and they have a mic, but they quite pricey, the bose triport around ear TP-1A is the runner up and they said its brilliant for audiophiles aslong as you dont listen to ACDC cuz its lacks the bass reproduction

Ok I did some more digging around and it appears that Asus "bins" the audio chips to the D1 and D2, but essentially they are the same. So, I changed back to the D1 (PCI) and changed the HD4850 Vapor-X to the HD4870 Vapor-X 1GB version.

Update:
Swapped the HD4870 for the HD4770, considering power consumption and the fun overclocking with the HD4770.

Added:
Scythe Musashi and some OCZ Freeze thermal paste.

I researched if the arctic cooling accelero twin turbo is better than the musashi as they're priced similar and people seem to say so. So...something you may want to think about.
