The DAC on this card seems to be high quality and is indistinguishable from my high end $100 card when I use studio headphones to compare.
This card is great for gaming and listening to flac files using my THX speaker setup or studio headphones.
My favorite part about this card would be the price, it rivals my expensive DAC with two major gripes:
1. The volume output is extremely low on this card even when set to 100% when compared to onboard sound and other sound cards. When the Xonar SE is set to 100% it equates to 45% on other cards. I am not sure if they can update this in the future or not. My guess is it is the hardware and not something they can update but we'll see.
2. The sound card kept defaulting to headphones as the primary output in WIndows 10 even when all I have is speakers plugged in. Setting the default output to speakers has no affect once you restart. My work around for this was to disable all other output devices to force Windows 10 to use the speakers on this card.
Overall I am happy with the sound quality, just not worth a 5 star until they fix these issues.
I am the first review on Amazon for this 116snr card so hopefully they can issue an update to fix my 2 issues then I'll update my review to a solid 5 star.

A huge disappointment considering a noticeable improvement in audio quality over an ALC1150 chipset. While the card works fine the vast majority of the time I cannot in good faith recommend this device due to its occasional propensity to cause audio glitches and hang applications that are trying to output sound.
There are no warnings or errors in the system event log, it just stops working until you reboot the system. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit with the latest 10.0.01.10 driver (also 64-bit). Sometimes the Xonar Audio Center disappears, other times it seems to think the device is working fine albeit it cannot switch outputs (at which point the software hangs).
I expect nothing less than absolute rock solid performance out of such a fundamental device, thus this gets 1 star. I am also disappointed with the way Windows handles malfunctioning audio hardware (as in, it doesn't), but that is not the reason behind my low review score.
I have been using this card for 21 days, every day, and have experienced this issue 6 times which necessitated an immediate reboot of the computer to resolve the issue. Disabling, deactivating, reinstalling driver did nothing. If I had to guess I'd say the card is getting caught in a bad hardware state from which it cannot recover until power cycled.

This card works exceptionally well, especially compared to all the other sound cards reviewed by people. In my case specifically, the card itself installed without any issues upon boot AND the drivers that I downloaded didn't even require that the sound cards 'control panel' be installed to use it correctly, it is optional. Of course you can always let windows handle the necessary driver installation straight from the internet or from the system's library itself. Though you should always check to see if the one you downloaded is more up to date than windows. Fortunately mine were already up to date with just windows alone.
Performance? Probably some of the best from any sound cards I have used, including the ones integrated into the motherboard. The sound comes off SUPER clear and with the right amount of amplification needed for my headphones. So there was no issues with either having a flat audio/sound or noise encumbering my experience. The microphone port is also super clear in audio feedback with very little noise in the background. So I can definitely say i've gotten my money's 'worth'.

デスクトップPCに光端子が必要なったため購入。
オーディオに関してはFlacとmp3なら聞き分けられるがハイレゾと通常無圧縮音源だと聞き分けられない程度の安い耳ですが、オンボードのミニジャックと比較すると明確に解像度が上がっています。また電源由来と思われるｼﾞｰ…というノイズも乗らなくなっておりかなりクリアです。若干中高域が増したかな？という程度で明確に味付けされる感じはしないです。また付属のドライバも数ヶ月使用していますが他の方のレビューにあるような不調は特に起きないです。
ただ以前購入したより低価格のUSBアンプと比較して音質に大差が無かったため、コスパという意味では少し劣るかもしれないもと感じ、星を一つ落として4にしています。USBではなくPCIe接続にしたい！という方であれば星5でおすすめです。

I took a chance on this card (Xonar SE) as there were no reviews at the time of purchase. I needed to find a basic, inexpensive sound card with optical output as my new micro-atx motherboard did not come with one. The card went in easily, and the latest drivers for Windows 10 from ASUS installed without issue. I made sure to disable my onboard audio in the BIOS first. I can't speak for the analog sound quality, to either speakers or headphones, but the SPDIF optical to my receiver is working perfectly. The card does come with a half-height bracket for those with small form factor machines. It also has a header for front panel audio.
I would certainly consider this sound card if you're in need of an inexpensive one with optical output.

Most motherboards have built in sound. This integrated audio is generally fairly good. If all you want is to listed to YouTube videos, play DVDs, and stream Netflix movies, integrated sound is entirely adequate. But, if you use your computer for more exacting listening, a good sound card is worth considering.
For a good many years, my favorite sound card has been the Asus Xonar DG card. It sounds excellent and it served my needs fine. With Microsoft dropping support for Windows 7, it was inevitable that I would have to upgrade to Win 10. Unfortunately, my Xonar DG card was incompatible with Win 10. I did eventually find new drivers at the Asus site, and was able to restore functioning sound on my other computer. In the meantime, I could no longer find the DG model at a decent price, for my other Win 10 machine. So, I went with the Asus Xonar SE model here at Amazon.
I was bitterly disappointed. The drivers installed in Win 10, but the card and software control panel are total trash. I spent a good deal of time with both and found the control software to be nearly useless. Basic functions like the equalizer are hidden and difficult to use. The control panel was designed by idiots. In particular, the equalizer is stupidly designed. As you boost, say 5 khz, the equalizer LOWERS all other frequencies bands simultaneously! Setting your equalizer is like playing Whack-A-Mole.
I concluded that the Xonar SE is a bad design. Also, there is some kind of issue in the chips or software. I heard a fairly constant pumping effect (the music getting louder and softer, from moment to moment). It sounded like the "breathing effect" associated with dynamic compressors and the like. Just awful.
It's worth knowing that the overall sound and volume levels of my computer improved when I returned to my integrated audio on the motherboard. One curious thing, is that the chips on the board are not labeled. Just blank chips. It makes me wonder. Well, I'm sending this back.
By the way, for those who still favor the Xonar DG, I discovered that eBay has five or six available at any given time for about the same money.

192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res 116dB SNR for $39. This kind of specs used to cost close to $200. The sound quality is top-notch. The only "high-end" feature it doesn't have is the RCA line output, which high-end soundcards provide. But because it has an optical output, adding a $20 DAC would complete the high end specs.
On Windows 10, the card works without installation of any software. The operating system recognizes the device automatically.
However, it is important to install the Asus driver and software anyway. Asus proprietary driver makes a huge difference in signal-to-noise ratio. The card is actually quite nosy running Windows generic driver. Clearly, signal-to-noise ratio is not just a matter of hardware, but also software (probably both the driver and the signal processor). The software has a management console in addition to the driver.
Also, it's better to download the latest from Asus website, instead of using the CD that comes with the device.

XONAR SE 5.1 PCIe
So far so good. I didn't have any issues installing it in Windows 10.
This is what I did BEFORE installing the card in my PC:
1. Log into Windows and uninstall Sound Card drivers from Device Manager.
2. Turn off PC and go into the BIOS, disable integrated sound. (Save and exit BIOS)
3. Turn off PC and install the card.
4. Log into Windows, download newest drivers from ASUS and install them. (I didn't touch the CD that comes with it).
5. Reboot, that's it.
As a previous reviewer mentioned, it seems that there's a USB chip in it, actually, if I hold the mouse pointer on the speakers icon from the taskbar, it says "Speakers (USB)". Now, I don't know for a fact if that slows down the PCIe functionality to a USB speed. If so, that's really bad, misleading and wrong. No idea, but it seems to work fine, anyway, that's not an excuse if they're not supposed to use a USB chip on a PCIe device!
Sound:
I have a small Fifine 4 channel stereo mixer where I connect a bunch of audio equipment (including the line out from the card), all that is connected to my old but good powered Altec Lansing speakers. Turned the volume all the way up from the computer, mixer and speakers and couldn't hear any static noises, hiss, hums, nothing! Very impressed! Actually I put my ears to the speakers and couldn't hear a thing!! Be careful if you try that, a sound notification from Windows can give you a very unpleasant surprise, also, that will not be healthy for your audio equipment.
The sound seems pretty flat (which is a very good thing). If I need some EQ, I'll do it myself! BTW, the EQ, FX, ambience or whatever you want to call them, are all turned off by default, another very good thing.
I tested it with a few YouTube videos and a couple of audio files in Audacity, haven't tested a mic, or any advanced audio stuff. It seems to do what is supposed to, haven't noticed any lag. I'm not into surround sound so that's that. The front panel port works as expected. I'll update when I do some other tests.
As per Windows Sound settings, the SPDIF out only does 2 stereo channels up to 24bit 192KHz. So it will NOT output digital 5.1 surround, you will have to use the analog audio connections for that. Anyway, found this in Wikipedia: "S/PDIF can carry two channels of uncompressed PCM audio or compressed 5.1/7.1 surround sound (such as DTS audio codec)". So, I don't care if it doesn't output SPDIF 5.1 compressed sound, but, that's me.
User Interface (UI) seems fine to me, nice, simple, clean and straight forward.
Hope this helps!

ASUS Technical Support might be pretty good in general, but there is a glitch in their chat software that routes sound card question to Notebook agents. You cannot get to the sound card agent unless you ask for a supervisor. When I finally got to the agent, I found that there seems to be a two-minute clock ticking over their heads. I kept getting assigned to go check something on the computer (like re-seating the card) and finding that the agent was long gone. I tried three times doing various assignments. The last agent said to send it back to Amazon. I asked for an RMA and the agent did not seem to understand "Return Material Authorization."
The problem with the card was that it could not handle audio streaming. Every two seconds is stops playing audio for ten seconds. I doubt there is any thing wrong with the card. There probably is a simple explanation for the problem, but I seem to be out of luck with these agents. So I will send it back and try a different card, different manufacturer. Irritating.

So first off, I love this thing and just installed it a few min ago. I originally needed SPIF out, which my 2019 mobo didn't include for some odd reason (also asus) Before I was taking audio (via HDMI) through a tv, to my sound bar, now it's direct. But wow, what a difference. The highs are crisp, the mids I can actually hear and the lows are more bold. Now, using a sound bar, I can only use 96000hz/24 bit. But thats using toslink, to a soundbar. When I connected my surround sound to it, I'm able to play my flac quality music at 19200hz/24. You won't get any sound if your equipment doesn't support it. As soon as I booted windows up, boom everything was working without the software.
Just remember, a secondary card always will carry better quality than what is built in, no matter the cost. The chip can be fine, but the integration is terrible, and quality suffers. This sound card fixes it. Added bonus, you can connect your front panel sound to the card! my old soundblaster didn't offer that.

ASUS XONAR SE 5.1 Channel 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res 116dB SNR PCIe Gaming Sound Card with Windows 10 Compatibility installed in an HP i5 SFF PC running Windows 7 64 bit with minimal hardware and software.
(The package included a low profile bracket and the card itself is low profile but came with a full height bracket)
The instructions on the included standard size CD say install the card, then install the driver. I tried installing the driver first and the installer was smart enough to report the card missing and halt. After installing the card, the driver appeared to complete successfully and required a reboot. After reboot, an icon for the card's control software had appeared on the desktop. The card appeared in Windows Device Manager with no issues. However, the Xonar management software reported "no card" and I couldn't get any audio output from any of the ports and no illumination of the SPDIF port. The optical port was the only reason I purchased the card and I couldn't confirm if the port is even provisioned.

I'm trying to break away from Creative Labs products. This card was my first attempt to do so.
Installation was straightforward; software and driver installation was simple, although I found the software to be pretty lightweight with no way to apply EQ.
Then yesterday & today the card just stopped emitting sound in the middle of a Windows session. Sound could only be restored by restarting the PC.
Amazon approved its return and it's going back tomorrow.
Disappointed.

I ordered this card because the motherboard's sound processor stopped sending sound to the surround right speaker. It is an ASUS Z370 motherboard, and this is an ASUS card.
Uninstalled the motherboard sound drivers. Installed the card. As soon as I powered up the speakers, but not the computer, I heard thumping in the left and surround left speakers.
Booted, installed the drivers, made all the volume changes I wanted to make -- problem persisted.
Moving the router around alleviated the problem some, but it still goes on. This never happened when the sound was driven from the motherboard.
The software isn't the most intuitive or useful software, either. It is organized strangely, forcing you to go back and forth dozens of times during calibration, and it doesn't allow for setting speaker distances.
Overall, while I now again have a full set of surround speakers, I'm very disappointed in this purchase. I installed the card too late to return it, but I will probably look for a different card and eat the cost of this one.

Windows 10 PRO allows for easy set-up.
Sound quality is excellent throughout the range of music types -- from Rock to Reggae.
The 116 db version handles gaming sound very well -- surprisingly good, with reliable XONAR quality.
I will buy another one for my wife's Dell Vostro -- good stuff !!

Definitely a decent little card for anyone on a budget. However -- Xonar Audio Center is a terrible piece of software with horrible naming conventions. Here are just a few of the worst offenders:
Xear Audio Brilliant (with a "Brilliant Level" slider from 1-5)
Xear Surround Max II
Xear SingFX
Any guess as to what the above settings do to the audio input? Me neither. And the software tells you absolutely nothing, so have fun digging around in the manual or support forums to find out. So to prospective buyers: be warned -- with budget hardware comes budget software, but if you are willing to put up with it, the card itself is fine.

I read this raving review for this product (here on Amazon, below the product info) and the guy says to just put the card in and go to the website, download software/drivers and that it's the best thing ever, especially for the price. Well, bull$4!+ it is. Found out that the drivers aren't really even ready for retail sale. Not for windows 10 at least (found through personal online research through reviews of said product) and that it sounds like crap even if it works for earlier windows versions. The optical out wouldn't even work. Next time I won't believe a review that looks like paradise, it's pretty much bound to be propaganda.

The software is fine just not the best. The sound seems very good though. But there is a huge problem with sound if you use power saver in Windows. See my video (hope it uploaded as I can't seen any preview above). You'll see the sound is complete borked if I used power saving mode. But if I change it to balanced or high performance the sound is normal again. Unforgivable as I like to listen to music when I go to bed and I don't want me pc to use up too much power.
Edit: Knocked off one star because the mic jacks were putting out horribly quality audio.
