hi guys,

ive had the Xonar HDAV 1.3 Deluxe for about six months now and have been really happy with it but ive just recently bought the Asus RoG Xonar Phoebus . thing is after installing this new sound card, i was quite dissapointed.

they both sound the same. i was just wondering was it a worthy upgrade? shall i just return the Asus RoG Xonar Phoebus cuz i was quite happy with the HDAV.

i listen to lots of music, play bf3 occasionaly and watch the odd movie here and there. i dont own a pair of headphones and prefer listening to music through my Tuefel Motiv5 5.1 which rocks!

i was quite dissapointed to see the software has not intergrated equaliser band and have to use windows media player. and i hate that dolby digital software it has equaliser but everything is upmixed into 5.1 content.

any input will be appreciated 🙂
