Packaging


The packaging for the DX is simple and straight to the point with no frills, bells or whistles. Nine different audio and gaming standards are clearly displayed on the front of the box to peak the customer’s interest in the product. There is a top panel that opens and furthers shows reasons to purchase card by outlining its clear supremacy over onboard audio and further number flashing to seal the deal with the buyer. The reported numbers boast of crystal clear audio which is 35 times that of current onboard sound chips. Given the specifications of both devices and quickly doing the math, they are actually very close to that number.

Meanwhile, the rear of the Xonar box clearly shows how far the ASUS empire actually extends with the feature set revamped in 12 different languages.


The inside of the Xonar DX packaging is very simple, The card is right on top in a removable tray for easy access for the users that don't read the manuals first. All accessories, manual and software CD are under the removable tray.


Included Accessories



This product offers a very light bundle, again straight to the point with no extra fluff or frills. Compared to the accessories bundles of the D2 and D2X, the DX offers very little to the user in the way of interconnects, adapters or application software. Added accessories and software of course drive up the price of the bundle. Included in the box are:

• Xonar 7.1 DX PCI-E soundcard
• Instruction Manual
• Toslink Adapter
• Low Profile PCI Sheild
• Driver and application CD
