#1 ASUS Xonar DX

Last but not least, the Xonar DX offers some of the best SNR and Sample Rate you can get out of a soundcard. However, it’s also...$100.

Ouch. That price range does hurt, but what does it offer in turn?

Well...just look at the list of Pros, honestly. Not to break the fourth wall in my own article, but the Xonar DX is a really fully-featured soundcard that offers just about everything a gamer or audio enthusiast would want out of a soundcard.

Honestly, it’s our top pick for a reason. The only real problem we can raise with it is its price- because, jesus, $100 for a sound card? That’s one expensive sound setup!

But if you’re passionate about your listening experience, whether in or out of game, the Xonar DX should offer you the best-possible audio experience. That makes the ASUS Xonar DX the best soundcard for gaming.
