ASUS Xonar D2

6.8 DSP Modes

Besides the abundant sound effects described above, the Xonar D2 also provides

quick Digital Sound Processing modes which are congured for typical applications

including Music, Movies, and Games over different output speaker types. In

addition, Xonar D2 also offers a Hi-Fi mode for hi-delity playback without any

effect processing to keep the original audio delity. Every time you turn on Hi-Fi

mode, Xonar D2 will clear all sound effects. It’s also recommended to use Hi-Fi

mode for audio quality tests (using RMAA software or another machine-based

measurement). Use the DSP mode button as the quick setup if you don’t wish to

know the details of the effect setup. (note: no sound effects will be applied to high-

denition 96KHz/192KHz content.)
