ASUS Xonar DG headphone amp audio card for $16 after $10 MIR

A new month is here (June 2015) and that means the good old ASUS mail-in rebate for their bang for the buck audio card with headphone amp is renewed again. This mail-in rebate runs from June 1-30 in 2015 and makes the card a $16~ after a $10 mail-in rebate. You can get both the card and the PDF of the mail-in rebate at Amazon.com by Amazon actual.

NOTE: there is a bug in the way Amazon calculates after rebate prices. This is $16 after MIR, NOT $6 after MIR. Their system is accidentally calculating both this month’s and last month’s mail-in rebates. Only the June $10 MIR is eligible. You can’t use last month’s rebate on this purchase.
