Finally An Excellent Audio Card!

Pros: This Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus has very Clean Sound Quality and does not Dull out at High Volume Levels as the Creative Sound Blaster Z did. The Creative Sound Blaster Z was a very Poor Quality Sound Card and the Software was even more frustrating. This AE-5 Plus sounds better than the EVGA Nu Audio and even better at Higher Volume Levels. The EVGA would dull out the High Frequencies at 90% Volume levels. The EVGA was way overpriced for what it was and had no What You Hear Software, so no Music Audio was not possible to Record with no Stereo Mix options available. That to me was an EVGA Rip Off to not include What You Hear Stereo Mix.
Cons: For Audio Studio use, stay away from the EVGA Nu Audio Series. No allowed Music Audio recording, as it is not possible due to the lack of Quality, and no What You Hear Options.
Overall Review: Creative finally got another good Sound card out. The Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus is a very Good Card and decent Software, an it also has the Native Speaker Check Testing Software that the XFI Series had.
Broken Power LED cables

Pros: Nice Case, easy to work with.
Cons: BROKEN FRONT PANEL LED CABLES, TORN OF PUSH ON ENDS! Price drop right after I had purchased it
Overall Review: All in all, Apevia is a very good PC Case Company, I have had many of their PC cases in the past 10 years, and have always been Happy with them.
Awesome upgrade from the AMD Phantom Gaming M.B.
