For discerning gamers

Respect Creative! The card sounds really top notch. It is very dynamic and useful thanks to the headphone amp for audiophile headphones. The SBX Pro Studio provides the virtual surround sound MMN. the best in this area. No other system manages to change tone so little and to allow perfect positioning.

The microphone input remains curiously enough of my expectations. Even the otherwise far inferior 30, - variants of the Asus Xonar cards cut better here in terms of shielding. Nevertheless, it is in his body not so that you could not use the microphone input. On the contrary - I moan around here at a high level.

Otherwise, the map on the playback side but super grounded and you can enjoy its audio absolute hum-free.

For the drivers, I would have one or the other point at the desired a little more. So you can not see at a glance what EQ settings are active and whether perhaps SBX Surround is active, for example. You have to go in that particular menu. That, and also the installtion as such are dissolved better in the competition from Asus.

Still gets the card from me all 5 stars because they are all known to me trumps competitors hands down the most important discipline: the sound! At least as long as one speaks of the consumption. For Recordings one takes also no gamer card.

I operate to gamble with the Sennheiser G4ME One and for music and movies on a whim with BD DT-990 Pro and Sennheiser HD 558th
