The sound quality is also great! Of course, it is by far better than my internal, not to be mentioned notebook "sound card". You can, however, also loose touch with my old Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
She was previously attached to my standard home stereo system with NAD amplifier, which delivers 1A material for further processing.
She was also connected for a bigger celebration with a PA set with 600W subwoofer and two 150W RMS Toplautsprechern. Again, it has made a consistently good figure and did not even geschwächelt.
Therefore, I can wholeheartedly recommend - a great sound card !!
