The device is good to look at externally. The device’s build, design<br />

and coloring give it a good appearance and make it feel quite<br />

compact as a whole. The various power packed features that the<br />

The solid enhancement to the laptop sound<br />

appears to be really quite realistic and of an excellent and unadulterated<br />

quality. The GX 2.5 has support for about 128 different<br />

audio modes to suit different preferences, requirements<br />

and situations. This remarkable wide range of audio options that<br />

the Xonar U3 provides is quite incredible really. It just goes on<br />

to show that even for an ultra-portable device the Xonar has<br />

a lot of capability under its belt. The GX audio engine serves testimony<br />

to the fact.<br />

The Xonar U3 provides a variety of Dolby sound enhancements<br />

also. It uses the different Dolby tech<strong>no</strong>logies to enhance and<br />

change the quality of a sound in a positive direction. Tech<strong>no</strong>logies<br />

like Dolby Digital Live, Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Pro Logic IIx<br />

and Dolby Headphone the device almost results in a home theatre<br />

type of sound system. The surround sound is excellent and<br />

the listening experience is changed from listening to flat quality<br />

sound to high level surround sound.<br />

Besides the aforesaid features that the Xonar U3 provides,<br />

it also allows for what is called, Hi-Fi quality sound.<br />

The device prevents external <strong>no</strong>ise and interference<br />

from tampering with the sound signals<br />

emitted by the device. It thus allows for<br />

absolutely clean, clear and crisp sound quality.<br />

The tech<strong>no</strong>logy which the device employs for<br />

achieving this is called hyper-grounding and the result<br />

is indeed quite appreciable.<br />

The Xonar U3 is thus an ultra portable audio enhancement<br />

solution for users who want to gain good quality sound and<br />

yet maintain a low profile about it. The Xonar U3 in this<br />

respect scores quite well. It enhances headphone sound,<br />

allows for 3D surround sound along with the Dolby sound<br />

enhancements and maintains the sound clarity with tech<strong>no</strong>logies<br />

like hyper grounding. Quite admirable, being able<br />

to turn ordinary stereo sound into an almost home theatre<br />

like sound experience. The Xonar thus really delivers<br />

the promises it makes and even improves upon them.<br />
