AuzenTech X-Raider 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: Makes sound. Has a plug port to enable the ports on the front of the case for earphones and mic. This feature is not common enough but this card has it. Price is pretty fair for this card.

Cons: The driver disc is not acceptable. I installed the disc driver into my windows 7 ultimate 64 bit machine and was locked out of the internet. I had to uninstall the drivers to get back on line. Then I downloaded drivers directly from auzentech and all was well.

Overall Review: This card has several options for any audio needs. Lots of plug ports.

Pros: Cheap, works, swappable opamps.

Cons: None. I hear Auzentech support can be sketchy but haven't needed them yet.

Overall Review: After swapping the front L/R opamps to OPA627's at a cost of fifty bucks, the sound is just lightyears ahead of anything else in the sub hundred price range. Very highly recommended, at least for 2 channel use. I suppose it could get pricey upgrading all 8 channels.

Pros: Sound Quality - With OPA2134 amps this thing left me speechless, clarity and definition is unbelievable. Performance versus price factor is off the charts.Runnin this in Windows 7 x86 with latest factory drivers, not a single issue. Speakers are old skool Altec Lansings 2100 2.1 set. Total eargasm....

Cons: Right......

Overall Review: Cryin shame Egg doesn't have this anymore, must have gotten one of the last ones from their inventory. Beg, barrow, steal, find this card and toss the factory op-amps for the OPA2134s, your music will sound AMAZING!!!

Pros: Nice card, I love the easily replaceable op-amps. Works out of the box in Linux. Cmedia chip works great. Sounds great after replacing the op-amps. I used OPA2134, it's affordable and noticeably better but your tastes may be different.

Cons: You should replace the op-amps on this card out of the box. It's like they figure that because they're replaceable they can put the cheapest ones possible in it. Also, it seems they like to use the NE5532 on their other cards, so be aware..

Overall Review: Overall a good card. Be aware that you can put different op-amps in this card as well that may sound better than the OPA2134, like the THS4032, but it may not be a drop in replacement. OPA2134 is $3 while the THS4032 is ~$9 at Newark.

Pros: Beefy sound. No static in the background very cheap yet good on the quality.

Cons: Could use a Headphone amplifier but beggars cant be choosers.

Overall Review: I personally havent had any issues with Auzentechs drivers. But there certainly a good few that feel they have. Auzen also having issues relasing up to date drivers. that seems to be the biggest problem of all. still for such a price. Its a steal.

Pros: Just got it today, plugged it in, loaded the new driver for Win 7 64 and Voila. Its great, sounds excellent and really short so it dosent interfere with 5770s intake.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I REALLY love the sound of this card, add to that you can swap out the OPAMPS for even better sound and this card is an excellent value.

Pros: Reasonable price, shipped on time

Cons: I initially installed it on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine and had problems with interfering with other applications. I put in a message to tech support and did not receive a call (at least so far). I ended up removing PC Shield Deluxe 2010 and it fixed the problem. Seems to be working ok now.

Overall Review: They could respond from tech support

Pros: Shipped on time and is reasonably priced

Cons: Does not seem to work in my windows 7 (64bit) system without crippling other applications. The sound works, but my task bar does not and I cannot start most applications- so it is a very fatal error. I am waiting for tech support to give me some feedback.
