I see you signature has Marantz CD 6003 and LG DVD player as sources. Do you mean Xonar ST is not significant improvement over CD 6003 OR LG DVD player?
Hi Venkatcr,
1. Download the KS plugin from foobar2000 website /components section
2. Extract the plugin zip file into your Foobar\components directory.
3. Start Foobar. Goto File->Preferences. Choose Output on the left. Select "KS: Asus Essence STX Audio". Click ok /accept etc.
That's it. Go ahead and click play.
Unless the KS dll file gets into conflict with your PC you will find the SQ far better than the default "Primary sound driver" option (you will get an alert-box stating about potential conflict issue, when you perform the above steps)
Regds,
i did steps 1 and 2(foo_out-ks.dll extracted in comp folder) but KS option is not appearing in playback
Connect power supply properly & use correct drivers.Use foobar with wasapi OR asio.
^^ Perhaps Foobar was running while you copied the .dll file into the directory?
Try closing Foobar and restarting it. The Component should then show up in the File > Preferences > Output
I just got my Xonar STX card today hyeah:... is there anything which i should keep in my mind while installing it..?
Congrats!
Any particular reason why you went for STX instead of ST?
No particular reason for STX.. I enquired about ST and it wasn't there so i ordered for STX.. Lets see how it performs... after that if i still feel that something is missin then i may sell this n go for ST..
Got the card.. came back home asap.. but... .. I've a slim cabinet.. this card won't fit in my current cabinet.. so need a new bigger cabinet..
What?!! There is no reservation for STX/ST category in your cabinet??!! Change it before there are protests and hunger-strikes on the streets.
STX --> ST will not be much of an upgrade. Still in the same "backward" class onlee. hyeah: Better to go for super high-end audio card above Asus. It will cost $400 or more.
Don't bother spending another 8K for such a minor upgrade
Cheers
