Asus Xonar U7 Review

Asus Xonar U7 Review

We review the Asus Xonar U7. The U7 offers 24-bit/192KHz recording and playback with 114dB SNR, S/PDIF output, 7.1 channel analog output, dedicated stereo headphone output, a volume knob, and it's all powered of a USB 2.0 port. The headphone output comes with its own DAC and adjustable gain settings, making the U7 capable of driving just about any pair of headphones to ear-splitting levels. The U7 is a discreet audio card, in a nice little package, so it also supports Dolby HTv4, including surround sound encoding. And there's also a karaoke mode. High performance in a small package, but is it any good? The U7 is surprisingly good.

Check out our review right here.

Well, you're talking about 500 mW of power on USB, that is not true. In fact, a USBv2 connexion can output 500 mA (5V), which means it can give the xonar 2,5 W, not 0,5 W. (And 5W for a USB 3 port).
