Hi all,
I've just invested in a Xonar Essence One DAC, namely this one: http://www.asus.com/Sound_Cards_and_DigitaltoAnalog_Converters/Xonar_Essence_One/
I'll be using this for PC usage: music, gaming and chatting (skype, ventrilo etc.). The headphones I use are Philips Fidelio X1. Namely: http://www.head-fi.org/t/670318/philips-fidelio-x1-review-comparison
I have both Asus Xonar Essence STX and Asus Xonar Phoebus sound cards lying around, would they provide me any better sound, than just connecting the Essence One via USB?
Would it give me better sound to set it up like this: Xonar Phoebus -> Toslink -> Essence One -> Philips Fidelio X1?
Thanks a lot in advance for your input!
Regards,
Andreas
