In Sound Card

I was looking for a DAC for my Lenovo laptop that only decodes digital audio in 16 bit 32KHz. This decodes Digital Audio at 24 bit 96KHz. In high bit rate audio the difference in the sound can be noticed. The audio does not sound garbled like it does with the 16 bit audio that the laptop can produce. The audio sounds a lot crispr and fuller with cheap pair of speakers that I tested it with. Sounds great for a 3+3 watt speaker configuration power from a power bank. 24 bit audio is noticeable on anything. I would recommend this product. This is for 2 channel audio only. It is great for its intended purpose. If you have a old stereo and a laptop, buy this, or for a 2 or 2.1 set of PC speakers and you want to hear clear and rich audio, buy this product. Just plug into the USB port and let Windows install it's driver and it will work a few seconds later.

- It's super cheap - Install is plug-n-play on Windows 10. No driver installation! - Works great, sounds good and hassle-free

Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

- My headphones actually sound like they should now, despite my motherboard having a pretty decent sound chip on it, with isolation in the circuitry, all that good stuff. - The breakaway control panel is really nice due to how it controls the audio even when explorer exe is disabled for gaming stability. Disabling this will break the volume control on my keyboard due to how explorer exe controls the audio slider. This fixes that for me. - The different impedence settings are really nice too, because while these headphones should technically only be set to the neutral 32 ohm setting due to them being 32 ohm themselves, they are an odd pair of cans that can handle the 600ohm range as well; though with altered audio levels to ensure no damage is being done. This setting used for high end headphones mainly, makes my 'supposed to be high end' headphones actually sound like it. It's really nice. - The SBX software/hardware stuff they have included is nice as well, since virtual surround via windows is kind of hit or miss; where as this is (so far) quite accurate about positional audio. I have not tried the scout mode yet it includes, but I suspect that will come in very handy during some other gaming sessions aside from the usual MMO stuff I have been doing as of late. - Double points for the SBX for watching my shows and movies as well. - I am sure the other outputs are quite nice as well for high end audio setups. I do not have one right now. I am certain that when I do get one, I will very much like how this suppliments it in conjunction with my computer being hooked up to it. - Has the red and yellow RCA inputs for auxillary input, and included cable for use with headphone jack split into said RCA inputs. This is super useful for me, because I have a Sega Model 1 with the volume slider that I will be needing to use to reroute my audio from it, due to the TV I have to use with it, not having its speakers included anymore. (External detachable speakers, so of course they got lost.) But that TV also has a seperate output panel as well, so I can make use of that instead if I want. But due to sound timng/latency reasons, will probably go with the stereo output jack on the front of the sega instead. I am hoping this will also fix some of the audio issues it has, as I suspect it is not quite powerful enough to drive these headphones. Again, they claim 32 ohm, but use with multiple jacks now makes me wonder otherwise. Rear headphone jack on the motherboard was kind of bad as well, while the front case jack using the HDaudio port on the motherboard did better. Which makes sense, since it's rated for up to 300 ohm instead. (I wonder if whoever entered the impedence data for these headphones put in the wrong data.) Anyways, this is just pondering on my side. Moving on to cons.

Comes with low profile bracket. Sound is great compared to onboard sound component.

Easy install. Good sound quality for what I use. App makes setup easy

- High quality audio - Can record at 96000 Hz with 32-bit float!

This thing rocks! Buy it is all I can say. Love the lights, the clarity is out of this world. Best ever.

Punchy sound, latency free triggering for Addictive Drums 2

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.

Creative Labs has reputaion for quality computer sound products and the Audigy2 ZS is no different. This little gem is a gamers perfect sound card, with 7.1, and THX cerified, plus Firewire, you can't go wrong. Even internal the Firewire header can be used with most PC cases on todays market.

Powers my DT 990 Pro headset like a champ. Recommended!

- Sounds great - Easy to set up (Win10 users, LOOK AT Quinn M's review! Don't use the ) - No static or other sounds, even with a 6ft USB extension cable, I have a desk PC with pullout drawer) - SMALL! (Can be a con I guess if you want a giant DAC?)

Deeper range of sound

Using the 3 slots on sound card, 1 for dual Creative Gigaworks T40 desk speakers, 1 for same set of speakers on a side shelf, and 1 slot for other set of smaller speakers with sub-woofer, selected the 5:1 channel, works great, installed card into a free PCIe x 4 channel slot on the windows pc motherboard (the smallest slot), love the card, 5 eggs
