ROG SupremeFX ALC4082 with ESS ES9018Q2C DAC
With this DAC/amp, is it similar to older boards that it is only Inuse when headphones are plugged into the front panel, or is it also active and used for the rear ports?

Hello,

Yes, the ESS DAC is still only accessible from the front panel only.

What provides better audio on these then, the rear or front ports?
