Sound / Voices / Music » How is Asus new soundcard the AE + Sonic Studio ?

hello,

I only used the realtek internal soundboards because I use spdif passthrough to my reciever so there have been no reason to use a soundcard.
However I got a new motherboard that I cannot use because it lacks spdif, so I was thinking about buying the new Asus Xonar AE because it is around 70euro and it is new so I could get fresh drivers.
It also says it is optimized to work with Windows 10.

How are drivers nowdays, realtek work flawless for spdif passthrough dts, pcm, 96khz etc.
Also how is that sonic studio?

I read that it lacks audio equalization, something realtek have in their software and comes in handy when watching twitch streams because some of them are super low compared to everything else.

Have not used a soundcard in ages, and all I read is creative,asus drivers "suck" for Windows 10, and they hardly ever release updates for drivers.

Please help.
Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
