>> Worse than Creative
I bought this to replace a Creative sound card If I had known that the Creative piece of junk was better than this hunk of garbage I would have just dealt with the Creative crackling
This sound card swaps channels crackles pops will play the sound high pitched all randomly
I expected better from Asus
And before anyone blames my computer I ve got two different computers and both cards crackle in both
>> very good sound
Best for computer music for value and price ASUS marketing need do more thing to pmote this board
>> Great sounding card
For the longest time I had been a Creative user up until my Audigy 2 which I compared to my onboard sound and was actually impressed with the onboard not to mention the terrible support for Creative in the last few years but I ll skip that
The Xonar D1 is an extremely well performing card This is especially true for music I have a very broad taste in music from classical jazz rockabilly ska hip hop indie whatever no country and everything sounds amazing It s indescribable but it s just like this card is able to convey just that much more that my Audigy and the onboard couldn t Not to mention the Dolby headphone setting It s sometimes very easy to forget I have my cans on It handles video and gaming well too but music is its biggest highlight The control center has a lot of features a great sampling rate and SNR My only complaint is the I/O panel There is an optical out and a line in shared jack Other than that I m 100 satisfied with the card
I use it in Win 7 but with the Vista x64 drivers works no problem It also works fine in Fedora 12 x86 64 Alsa picks it right up It would be nice if there were more software support but it works well enough as is
