    You can buy it without any other, except that you have to know that the driver is unworthy of a card of this quality. The interface and settings are very consumer oriented.

    The card breathes high-end, the sound is good, with perhaps a rising trend. The sound could become too aggressive with already clear speakers. I am a fan, both my towers are equipped with this card.

    • Quality, sound, installation

    Contra

    • The driver is reliable, but too simple, for example it lacks the 5/7.1 delay setting.
    • Equaliser without dB scale, small and difficult to adjust. However, it is powerful: +/- 20 dB
    • Power supply with a Molex plug, does that still exist?!!!
    • The daughter board with the cinch 5/7.1 is connected to the main board with an old IDE ribbon ?!!!!

    Fantastic sound card.

    The sound is absolutely clear, "studio quality". I use the sound card with Logitech z623, now I'm getting a z906 5.1. I listened to music with the headphones for 3 hours yesterday and couldn't stop! The amp for the headphones is a monster, at 600ohms your ears will pop. DolbeHeadphone option just fantastic for gaming. This card is a beauty. Worth every franc.
