Just bought the ASUS Phoebus 7.1, how is it ?
I'm a present owner of a Phoebus, which I'd used for both headphones/headset (HX Cloud) and speakers (Klipsch PM2.1). Before getting an external DAC/AMP. I did hook up my HD800 to it, the Phoebus powered the HD800 easily, though it sounded a tad bright (HD800 tend to be a tad on the bright side with certain soundcards or DAC/AMP's). Not a problem with the HX Cloud since it's closed backed and is not known to be bright. I find the Phoebus to be pretty good for gaming and watching movies, and I have zero issue with the driver, it's been working great since the day I'd installed it in my 2nd rig.
For music appreciation, I have a headphone DAC/AMP/PreAMP hooked up to my HD800 playing DSD64 tracks with foobar and it's eargasm. I don't see myself going back to soundcards for audio listening any more. Hence, I've dedicated my Phoebus solely for gaming and movies which it handles quite nicely.
