Thank you for your replies. Maybe this concerns more the ALSA developers. Yes, the STX drives all kinds of headphones and most of them very well but it lacks on low impedance (<32 ohm) models. This is due to the headphone output impedance of 10 ohm on the STX and also on the new STX II. Thus it

Hello and THX for ALSA - I'm using it on Ubuntu/Linux Mint to get the best out of my ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card and it just works great. The new STX II has (on Windows at least) an interesting feature for use with low impedance (< 32 ohm) headphones, see Impeccable headphone amplification
