    Hello,

    Since day 1 I've been struggling with my P150EM to produce any decent sound through my earphones (which are really decent) so I was forced to look into USB sound dongle solutions, thus here I am.

    I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me which USB sound to go for:

    ASUS Xonar U3
    or
    Creative X-Fi Go!

    Prices and reviews are very similar so its hard to make a choice. Myself I'm leaning towards Creative, or maybe there is a better alternative?

    Thanks

    I can recommend the Creative X-Fi Go!

    It's really good and has a ton of options, definitely did good for my Clevu W860CU! Only good things to say :) enjoy
