HT / OMEGA Claro Halo XT Sound Card w/ a built-in HI-FI Headphone Amplifier

You love listening to your sound on headphones, and you've got some good high-impedance units to listen with. But most computer sound boards are low-impedance outputs, aren't they? HT Omega has created a sound board that lets you set the output impedance via jumpers all the way up to 600 ohms. Of course, that wouldn't do you much good if the sound didn't match it. How does 24 bit sound and 192 kHz sample rate sound to you? Encoding of Dolby Digital Live, DTS Interactive and others takes a load off your cpu. It also functions as a MIDI controller to your MIDI setup. Optical SPDIF input and optical SPDIF output, as well as regular Line In, Microphone In, and CD/Auxiliary In, with standard RCA connectors for output to an amplifier or receiver. As always, look around and decide for yourself, but if you'll pardon the pun, it sounds pretty good to me.
