Tweak News Top Rank Award
The improvements this card made in the clarity and balance of the music was a huge step up from onboard sound. There was no hissing, popping, or other distortion… For improved sound on a tight budget, the Xonar DS is an excellent choice. If you've been using onboard audio for games, the Xonar DS will breathe new life into the gameplay experience. ...movies sounded noticeably better, too. All in all this is a great bang for the buck product, and I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a budget sound card that doesn't skimp on quality. More Details |

Modders-Inc Editor's Choice Award
Music this is where a discrete sound card just blows away any onboard audio. Gaming I must say that I was very impressed with the results. Let's jump right to the point of the big question that we all want to know. .. is it worth the cash you will spend on it? … do you value high quality audio without static, buzzing, or hissing with clear sound at a good price that is absolutely an step up from the onboard audio that you get with your motherboard? Then I guess you answered your own question. More Details |

the Xonar DS is a brilliant budget choice. If you want to use S/PDIF to output audio to a set of surround sound speakers, the Asus Xonar DX is a better option as it supports Dolby Digital, but the Xonar DS is still an great card considering the bargain price. More Details |

Xonar DX | 2010/04 |
Excellence Award
Although the Xonar DX has been around for a while, it's held its place as one of the best sound cards for £50 or so. With excellent continued driver support and a decent price, this little PCI-E card sets the standard that the rest of the budget sound card market has to meet, and does so with great style.
