Available @1575 from Pristine Note
Asus Xonar sound cards - DG,DX and STX

Pristine Note, is it the shop' name?
Card looks good but can I connect discrete speakers to it?
right now I have [two sets of creative inspire 2.1 speakers and an amplifier fed center-sub] connected to the motherboard' 5.1 integrated card and it works fine.
will these speakers work fine with this card?:-?

Look at that forum closely. It is sellers name.

Why not? ;)
Just read the manual or refer to any one of the several reviews available all over the internet.

@Gollum: The integrated HD sound card present in latest motherboards are as good as any sound card available at the market for 1500/-
So, my modified suggestion would be don't go for this kind of cheap card. Either use motherboard's integrated audio, or increase your budget to 4.6K so that you can buy Xonar DX, in which you can feel reasonable difference in sound quality.

Your decision. :)
