Got a Blu-Ray drive on your computer? Did you know that Blu-Ray audio is sampled at 192 Khz for extra high fidelity? Did you know that your audio drops down to DVD quality with an ordinary audio board?
ASUS wants to address that problem with this A/V enhancement board. Built on a PCI-E board for speed, aided and abetted by hardware decoding for Dolby True HD and DTS Master audio, this board's 7.1 channel output sound brings you every sound they recorded the way they recorded it. An HDMI compliant connection brings your signals into an HDMI-equipped TV or monitor for the best signal. Twenty-four bit audio and an impressive 120 dB signal to noise ratio mean clean sound for your discerning ear.
I don't know what you need; only you know that. But if buying this board will make you happy, selling it to you will make us happy.
