Re: xonar essence stx

Is support for this coming soon?
    

Yes.
  

Awesome, is it likely to be within the next 6-months?

How does using ALSA compare to using drivers developed by the vender 
specifically for Windows?
i.e.
Will I not be getting most out of this card (hardware-wise) if I'm not 
using the drivers Asus developed, or is the difference negligible?
    

The driver supports all features of the hardware; the output quality is
the same as with the Windows driver.
  

That's great to hear, thanks for clarifying!

Please note that the Linux driver does not have the "driver features",
which are implemented in software (Dolby, SVN, Xear, etc.).
  

Can you please be a little more specific about these "driver features" implemented in software?
Or provide a link to where it's outlined?

I want to know exactly what features I'd lose (& how useful they may be) if I ditched Windows.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
