I keep wanting to put a "F" in between the "T" and the "U" , But other wise at-least its another option for people instead of the E1 and the E1 muse which cost a arm and a leg.

Hopefully that works well as intended because I can sometimes get very very loud popping noises from both my previous Essence ST and my current Essence STX to my M-Audio BX5a Deluxe that they had always been hooked up to. blablabla..... So thats how I've had both ST and STX in use and knew that they both could produce that very loud popping noise as they turned on in some situations.

I can only read the first and last sentence. OT: I hope this product enters Indonesia soon. I need an external sound card since my monitors don't have volume control. I owned an STX before and I miss its sound. If this STU is in the STX's price range, I'll grab one for sure. E1 is a bit too expensive for me.

I changed from the ST to an external Arcam dac and felt I got a cleaner signal but not as much power or control over the sound. This could be an upgrade for me if it contains enough components to be priced over £300.
