Good sound and enormously loud headphone output!

I run the sound card while listening to music straight, have therefore disabled in the self-service software all sound-affecting border programs! Only the Equalizer is enabled for easy correction of my somewhat bass-heavy speakers. When listening through headphones, the EQ is turned off.
Either I hear about my relatively good speaker (Focal 2.1 system with good amp) or through the headphone output with my Philips Fidelio X1.

What struck me:
- Natural clear sound
- No noise or other sounds
- Via the headphone output enormous power is made available. Even for relatively quietly recorded material are enough reserves available! => This makes a headphone amplifier - at least in my Fidelio X1 (30 Ohm) - redundant!
- The sound through headphones is also very good at high volumes without distortion and / arm.
-. The Klangverzerrer offered via the software such as "Surround" are usually infinitely adjustable in intensity and make playing really Bock!
- The software of the microphone input can be configured as a second "line in".
- A mini jack (line out) is executed superior (metal, gold-plated).

My conclusion: very cool sound card for a relatively small price!
