Got this at the same time as Beyerdynamic DT770 closed back headphones as they were both on sale for a great price. Amazing upgrade from my onboard sound. I'm new to the audio world so I guess take my review with a grain of salt? -amazing sound -Amp can power up to 250 ohm headphones, which is what I have, so no need to look for additional amps -comes with an additional rgb light strip -app is super easy to navigate
It's better than the motherboard auido
Easy to setup and works great.
Low latency hi-res hardware based sound processing/recording. Supports true ASIO 2.0 WITH live monitoring. Solid realtime live effects processing and "soundfont" compatible midi synth are in hardware. Heavy tasks are not remotely troubling my CPU. My Xonar cant do this. The drivers are solid and the card's full functionality is recognized by all of the recording/DAW software I have tried.
For me it is better than a dac. Out of sight and sounds just as good to my ears.
* Quality of sound * Lots of sound options * Very good design
- It's super cheap - Install is plug-n-play on Windows 10. No driver installation! - Works great, sounds good and hassle-free
I brought this because my mother board sound card was dying and was unable to install an internal card due to my graphics card being mounted vertically in my case preventing access to the card slots. This little device was easy to connect and use having noticeably better sound quality than the original mother board audio before it developed issues.
- Less than 5 minutes to install and configure - compact ergonomic design
nice card for the price easy install would buy again recommend to others
Got this because it's compatible with Windows 98 Upon boot, Win 98 detected it, it installed a PCE-E to PCI bridge chip driver. I had to install the driver manually after, but that's just Windows 98 being bad.
Easy install
I looked at the X-Fi for my newest build, but went against it in the end and I am glad I did. Great card, great sound, great drivers. Everything is great!
- Pretty much plug and play - Cheap - Corn Electronics got it here fast - Better than "Crab" audio
