**Asus Xonar Essence ONE, World's first USB External Soundcard and digital to Analogue converter with 8x symmetrical up sampling and 120dB SNR.** The Xonar Essence One is a high end USB DAC with the world's first 8x symmetrical upsampling, an extremely high 120 dB SNR, audiophile class headphone AMP with a full op amps swappable function. With most modern audio signals stored in digital format, the ASUS Xonar team has catered to user needs and launched its first hi fidelity USB digital to analogue converter DAC, the Xonar Essence One. It is an industry leading high end USB DAC with the world's first 8x symmetrical up sampling technology. The Xonar Essence One also features a 120dB signal to noise ratio SNR, audiophile class headphone AMP and an eleven operational amplifier op amp design for distinct tonal customisation.

As a result, data volume is also increased by up sampling the bit rate to 32bit, corresponding to the original content and faithfully preserving the details of the user's music collection. The average SNR of other USB DACs is about 110dB, but with at an extremely high 120dB SNR, the Xonar Essence One provides audio fanatics with clearer sounds, enabling minute sound details to be heard while significantly reducing noise levels. A dedicated power supply ensures that clean power is delivered so the sharpest sound is heard, with excellent immunity to noise from the AC line.
