ASUS Xonar Phoebus ROG Gaming Soundcard Set Sound Cards
“ I have had this sound card for a couple months now, and have found that the quality of sound is very good for the price. Labelled as a 'Gaming' soundcard, this unit also boasts 118db Clarity SNR, EMI shielding, 3 headphone gain settings (up to 600ohm), Dolby Home Theater V4,, and an analog sample rate of up to 192KHz @ 24bit. The card can also be hooked up to 7.1 PC...” --mojorific
Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 8 In / 6 Out FireWire Audio Interface with 2 Focusrite Mic Preamps
“ Where to start? This is primarily for roject studio and field recording work. It can be powered soely by its Firewire jack, which is nice. Its got Saffire preamps for microphones, which are very nice. It has a very high quality, high speed DAC, which is excellent. Finally, it drives headphones so well it kicks the hell out of many solid state dedicated headphone amplifiers. This, my...” --mattphones
ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Channels PCI Express Interface Sound Card
“ Asus Xonar is the sound which i bought recently i was using an on board 889 realtek audio chip perviously. As per the review that are given by OCC and other reviewing sites i dnt find that sort of a difference basically it depends on what genre r u listening more over from song to song that i ll cover in...” --skywalker111988
Creative Labs SB1100 USB 2.0 Sound Blaster X-Fi Go Audio System
“ I bought this for a "try-it-and-see" provisional and was pleasantly surprised. The music came alive. The highs were more crisp, the lows more dramatic and deep. The staging was improved. The music took on a surround sound, three dimensional quality. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to improve the quality of their on-board sound cards. Try for $25-30 you can't go wrong. ” --peterabb
Creative Labs SB0570L4 Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card
“ It isn't audiophile card, but sounds good for casual music listening and gaming... enjoyable mids, highs seems a bit unreal for me (harsh,unfocused) , but the bass is full and punchy ... Low cost enjoyable card with Wolfson DAC : great value. ” --Lewzke
USB Soundwave 7.1 Rohs
“ Alright well I just recently purchased it, installed from CD fine on Windows 8 64bit, not so much on Windows 7 64 bit had to find a strange hidden zip file to get it to work. This thing is ridiculously loud, could be good for some high impedance headphones. Turn it down all the way before you plug in your headphones. I can hear pretty loud sounds when the system volume...” --TsukiNick
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD USB Audio System with THX SB1240
“ Decided to write this review to hopefully answer any queries anyone may have. The creative X-fi back last year, was one of the best DACs out there with very good value for its performance, conducting some tests with RMAA, I found that it has good 18 bit performance and true 16 bit performance that was pretty much unmatched by any DACs at that price back then (there is now the...” --firev1
HT OMEGA Stryker 7.1
“ When I built my computer about a year ago I really only got it so I wouldn't have to use onboard audio, which is never very good. I figured that for the price it wouldn't be too bad, but I was curious as to why the technical specs were nowhere to be found; now I know...This card is only capable of 16 bit 48 kHz playback; but HT Omega hides this fact, I searched for a while with no success......” --skinnygamer12
Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
“What they did with this card was get a lower quality, and poorly supported chip and stick the X-Fi label on it. It's not a good card. Drivers are dodgy and completely non existent for Linux. The sound is OK, but not noticeably better than what you would get from an Audigy SE or something. It certainly isn't 'X-Fi' standard. The only 'advantage' I can think of is that it is PCI-E. Not that it...” --theeyealtering
RME Hammerfall DSP Laptop PCMCIA Audio Interface
For some time now, laptops have become powerful enough for even ambitious hard disk recording thanks to high computing power and powerful hard drives. Up to now, a powerful interface was missing though. USB is neither offering the necessary bandwidth, nor the desired compatibility. Available PCMCIA solutions at the moment are nearly always designed as 16 bit PC Card and therefore only make use...
