## Description

Review: Very good alternative to todays dacs...with room for growth. - Ok, I have a dac, an E50 from Topping and it is good but also quite expensive. This is my first proper sound card, the Asus Zonar SE. My PC is an HP Prodesk 400 G6 small form factor running Windows 11 23H2. The card arrived on time with the excellent service from desertcart. I swapped the full height bracket for the half height and popped it into the PCIE16 slot in the PC. Plugged in the Optical cable which is why I bought this card and connected it to my Marantz PM6007 amplifier. Reconnected everything else and downloaded the software from Asus, installed the driver. Everything was up and running in seconds with no compatibility issues whatsoever! From there I went into Spotify and started playing some tracks. Sound quality...very acceptable indeed, nice and clean signal from the optical connection. Any comparison to the Topping E50 DAC is pointless as I would still have to run the optical through the E50 to get to the amp so any comparison would be between the amps built in dac which is a lower grade chip compared to the E50. That said, the sound direct from the sound card to the amp via the PM6007 built in dac is very good, good enough to set and forget and not even bother with the E50 except for maybe very special listening sessions. Personally speaking I would rather just skip the external dac and go down this route with the sound card with direct connectivity to the amp. I know this is a gaming card but I will be using this mostly for music which makes me think that there really is a bit of a space in the market here for dedicated music soundcards that with a few tweaks to the caps, resistors and chips and maybe a full digital interface option too would negate the need for further outlay for a external dac also more half height choices would be beneficial as at the moment there really are not many at all. While RealTek may have squashed the Soundcard for a time I think there is a market for more dedicated soundcards than ever before especially where music is concerned. In conclusion its a great soundcard from Asus and pairing this with a decent modern amp with digital connections will having you bopping quicker than might expect. Definitely keeping mine!
Review: Good option - I have used this sound card for at least 15 years now, I have owned several in that time period through upgrading PC's etc. It outputs good quality sound. Easy to use, good value for money. Highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi will this card work with Windows 10 or be like most other cards that are not compatible?**
A: This works with Windows 10, but will still not work correctly with Windows 11 (6 months after Windows 11 has been released).  Avoid if you are running Windows 11.

**Q: Will it work with my logitech z906 5.1 through optical output?**
A: should do, no reason why it wont.

**Q: If i use a corsiar hs50 pro with 32 ohms impedance, do i set the gain to low, medium or high? i am guessing low.**
A: Depending on what you want, if you want it to sound clearer but softer Low but if it doesnt matter id recommend using medium :)

**Q: Does this work with Windows11?
Thanks**
A: ASUS have addressed the Windows 11 issue merely by amending their FAQ.  Twice since May now, each time pushing any chance of support back by several months.  Latest update is that they expect a new driver in August (over a year after Windows 11, a mainstream OS, has been released).  The current Win 10 driver sometimes works, but often suffers jumps and crackles indicating that it's not very happy.
If you bought one before upgrading to Win 11, that's a year of no real warranty (that you've paid for).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works but lacks decent instructions
*by T***T on 13 November 2025*

The sound card works as described (eventually!). Unfortunately, instructions for how to set the card up is sadly lacking and it took a lot of trial and error to get it to work with my speaker system.
