Overall Review: I have been a fan of discrete sound cards from the beginning and the NU Audio card did not disappoint. Being my first discrete card since the Audigy2, I am really impressed with how well this card met the design requirements of my PC refresh and how far this technology has progressed. For my desk, I did not want DAC's, Amps or Creative Labs peripherals cluttering up my space so I used an old HTPC that went obsolete as Windows evolved to build out a useful Win10 workstation and audio pre-amp for my office. The results, high end analog audio to my amplified Klipsch 2.1 audio system and VModa Crossfades. Oh, and a turntable too! Overall, very pleased with the results and amazed by the realism and high end audio quality of this device for such a small price tag. Thank you EVGA and Audio Note, Great job!
