      High-fidelity PCM1796 DAC brings clarity with excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and lowest total harmonic distortion (THD)

      Hyper Grounding technology

      The noise-blocking, multi-layer PCB has been designed with decades of ASUS professional layout experience.

      Electromagnetic interface (EMI) shielding

      The EMI shield seals the signal from noise generated by other components, offering interference-free audio

      Sound detail boost with 600ohm integrated headphone amplifier


      Since many gamers choose to refrain from disturbing others while insisting on the best sound quality, ROG and Xonar teams integrated the top-flight headphone amplifier on ROG Xonar Phoebus, driving up to 600 ohm impedance for genuinely impactful headphone output.

      Headphone amplifier

      Drive your gaming headset to 100% performance with the powerful TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier

      3 headphone gain settings

      Three different gain settings cater to various headphone impedance levels, with aesthetic lighting that changes accordingly: blue for < 64 ohms and red for the two settings over 64 ohm.
