Pros: Plays music, movies, and games, just fantastic. Creative cant seem to get the X-FI to do EAX without doing the software Alchemy thingy, and even so, Alchemy is rather pitiful to set up. This card just does it.....set EAX up in the game and it just runs. Ill never buy another Creative card again, after listening to this one....
Cons: floppy power adapter, but this is due to the fact that getting the power from the power supply rather than the pci -e adapter, gives the card cleaner power.
Other Thoughts: They are right the SNR sets this card apart from any of the Creative cards, gotta luv innovation and design. Creative rested on its laurels, thinking that EAX was the bomb. Really EAX 1 & 2 are nice, but the rest was just washed incarnations of the previous, and a way for Creative to continue to get the gamers business.

Pros: Excellent SNR, crystal clear sound, ample headphone amplification for its price range... After a couple weeks of research, burning away my spare hours, there was no other choice but this card for the $. Its been one of the best $/performance ratio purchases I've made (and that's always how I buy).
Cons: The EAX 3-5 emulation from the card's DS3D software does leave some room to be improved upon (its not bad mind you, but the reverb is a little throaty). Luckily, as another reviewer mentioned, this is all in the software and can be improved upon. Given that its Asus supporting it, I'm keeping the faith.
Other Thoughts: What else is there to think about? I'm listening with this card an a set of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 ohm) cans, and I've never been more pleased with my sound setup. Could you have better? Sure... but nowhere near it for this price. This card easily matches other maker's $125+ offerings.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice specs, looked well made, nice packaging.
Cons: Drivers didn't like Windows 7 64bit on the included CD and the downloadable files from ASUS are .rar and I didn't even want to mess with that even though I should get some software to open them some day?!?!
Other Thoughts: RMA'ed it for a refund and got a Sound Blaster X-FI abd VERY happy with that!!!!
