Guys, why don't you review the ASUS Xonar U5 or even better, why don't you review more DAC's?

There is a thread for all suggestions for reviews:

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/300200-what-should-i-review-next/

 

But I guess Asus never contacted them about this DAC, so they never reviewed it..

And they don't do audio product reviews a whole lot too..

True

 

 

Now lets brace ourselves for audiophile impact.

 

What would Linus do? The video would be a rant and him doing a listen test only to find that nothing is different.

sound cards are only for extra outputs in my mind.
