ASUS launches Xonar Essence One for audio enthusiasts

ASUS has now launched a new Xonar product – the Essence One, which is a USB capable DAC (digital-to-analog convertor) that supports sample rates upto 192kHz. Using up scaling, ASUS claims that this can go right up to 384 kHz. The Xonar Essence One is said to to able to drive headphones with impedance going to up as high as 600 Ohms. The op-amps being used on the Xonar Essence One can also be interchanged, which should help in changing the characteristics of the headphones connected to it.
