The ASUS Xonar has moved into a box

The compact ASUS Xonar U7 USB external sound card and headphone amplifier deliver strong and clear 114 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sound along with the convenience of USB.

The device, which fully supports Dolby Home Theater v4, also includes a headphone amplifier and separate microphone and volume controls. The Xonar U7 caters well to PC gamers who want to hear strong and clear sounds in their headphones.

It is also ideal for listening to music, as it sounds much more effective and detailed than the built-in hardware. The device connected via USB does not require a separate power supply: it can be used immediately, without installation, and there is no need to open the PC case.
