7.1 channel 192kHz/24bit sound for the PC

by pentapus on October 10, 2007

Pros: Ultra-Clean, defined sound. Great DTS/Dolby Support. Beautiful LED's and Elegant EMI sheilding. Works in Vista64!

Cons: Only EAX 2.0, but then again, hardly any game audio works well in Vista

Summary: I first used this in Windows XP and got a mere 2-4ms latency in Ableton Live. The clarity of music puts my old Audigy 2 to shame. A few hours ...

Summary: I first used this in Windows XP and got a mere 2-4ms latency in Ableton Live. The clarity of music puts my old Audigy 2 to shame. A few hours of Supreme Commander and Bioshock left me wondering why we even bother with EAX. -It's time for a new gaming audio standard based on clarity, not washed out positioning and effects. ASUS has proven itself as a competent manufacturer of sound cards. Can't wait to hear more.
