Currently using a DX 99% of the time with my Sennheiser PC 350 headset through the front panel audio jacks on my Corsait 600T. The shitty new version of my old Z-2300's are garbage compared to my old ones, so I rarely use speakers anymore.
Since the PC 350's have a 150 ohm impedance, I've been looking around at headphone amps and amped sound cards.
Then I found the Xonar DGX. I quite like my DX, and since I'd really only be using headphones in stereo mode (virtualization and Dolby garbage can trick someone else), would you guys pit the DGX as a good buy, or is there something I'm missing from the differences between the two?
I also read one Newegg review that the headphone output is only amped through the back panel of the sound card, and doesn't pass through the front panel audio header. I might be okay living with my headset hard-wired into the back, but it would be something good to know before purchasing.
I listen to music, VoIP, and game. And my PC 350's are modded to widen the port.
