Why do you ask?

Just curious. I'm a lot into audio myself, and I also have a Xonar

Sorry to tell you but there are a lot of problems with Asus pci-e sound cards on some chipsets.

Sauce?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I'm 42. I have a strong heart, but somewhat high-blood pressure. This device helps to monitor heart rate while exercising/running/jogging. Athletes regularly use the watch versions to monitor their heart to achieve peak performance.

At 42, it's my Blackberry/Fuze/Bluetooth and nice clothes that impress the ladies.
