Good value for money, I recommend it.

The sound falls into place, if you connect, for example, to the asus xonar essence one muses edition, they immediately sound different, the sound becomes more voluminous, each instrument sounds wider, you can say the world is filled with colors) In principle, it is not surprising - a large box with 192 kHz, and not 96, which upsamples symmetrically, and not just like, with several DACs and a more complex circuit. It should be taken into account that it is better to connect to something else (the last time I listened to the built-in sound speakers was 20 years ago, we are not talking about them) than to the supplied DAC, because the ears themselves have more potential.

Pros

The assembly is good, there were Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, the place for extending the darling broke in 6-7 years, these are difficult to break, at least darlings), it sounds good in games) The microphone is built-in.

Cons

The volume wheel is positioned so that when you put your head on the pillow, you can get a BOOM in the ears with a probability of 50% (you need to turn a little there), if you don’t put your hand under your head) Therefore, for ease of use 1. Although sitting, it does not interfere. The sound card is mediocre, as is the DAC itself.
