What is the ranking of the cards in a SQ competition?
How about for gaming?

I haven't heard the Auzentech Prelude but I would not switch my Asus Xonar D2X because I'm so happy with the sound of it. The mids are one of the best I've heard from a soundcard. I would say the Auzentech is more for gaming and Asus more for Music and movies but I still recommend the Asus Xonar D2X for games because you wont miss anything over Auzentech. |

Nevertheless, the prelude offers 7.1 sound which the EMU does not support. I'm thinking about auditioning an HT Omega Claro Plus+, but we shall see... JakeShan: The Xonar does not support EAX 5. The following comes straight from the ASUS site. " Other Effects 10-band Equalier/27 Environment Effects 3D Gaming Sound Engines/APIs Vista: DirectSound3D® GX 1.0, EAX®2.0&1.0, DirectSound® HW, DirectSound SW, A3D®1.0, OpenAL generic modes, 128 3D sounds processing capability XP: EAX®2.0&1.0, DirectSound® HW, DirectSound SW, A3D®1.0, OpenAL generic modes, 128 3D sounds processing capability" Are you referring to an updated driver? |
