ASUS Essence STX II and Essence STX II 7.1 Hi-Fi-Grade Sound Launches
While not your typical gaming fodder, we know PC enthusiasts have super-surround display setups, several graphics cards, a rocking sound card, cans or speakers (to complete the gaming experience) and probably more disk space than your average Google data-barge (aaaand we don't want to know what that's for). So, we figured the latest Essence STX II and STX II 7.1 PCI-Express sound cards could be ready for your Rampage.
While I can write all day about processor pipelines and gaming kit, audio is not my field of expertise though. For that, talk to Raja@ASUS in the forums, or hit the PR button below to see the precise specs, unique design and its very specific special hardware. Key factors to tease you include 124dB signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) clarity for line-out and 120dB for headphones with a 600 ohm-headphone amplifier included.
First though: Pics! Time to mod a mirror finish in the bottom of your PC case, so you don't miss this design!
