Asus Xonar Xense 7.1 Soundcard - Introduction
The announcement of their entry into the audio market was considered an experiment by many.
Audio lovers figured Asus would release a card or two, grow tired of the smaller audio market relatively fast and get back to their major markets such as the motherboards and graphics segments. Asus has just passed its 3rd year in the soundcard market and with so many popular cards under their belt it has become apparent to many that ASUS is here to stay in the PC audio world. Looking over their current product line up they are using their ever increasing foothold to show the audio community exactly what they are capable of in this market segment. This is the Xonar Sound machine.
The Xonar sound machine has been gaining traction in the audio world with the highly popular Essence series. Asus recently announced that they have teamed up with Sennheiser, a proverbial powerhouse in the audiophile headphone market to bring audio lovers the Xonar Xense 7.1 soundcard bundle.
Today in the Guru3D Audio Lab we have a brand new Xonar Xense 7.1 bundle to put through its paces, so without further delay, lets get to it.

We have been following the development of this product since the beginning and today we have a brand spanking new Phoebus 7.1 bundle in the Guru3D Audio Lab. Without any further delay, lets pull this new audio card out and check it out.
