PurSuiT Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 This might not be completely new, but seems to be the #1 kick ass sound card on the planet. I have spent alot of time on the creative forums and this seems like the card to own for a new rig, a 3rd party company finally does xFi right, since Creative could not, even includes the 64Mb of X-RAM and they do there own custom drivers and software. http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/x-fi_prelude.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Ob. Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Looks promising. I will have to keep that on my short list when I do another new rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurSuiT Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Asus' Xonar DX hmmmm "The Xonar's Oxygen HD audio chip wasn't designed for PCI Express, so Asus uses a bridge chip from PLX to adapt it to the PCIe interface. This bridge chip appears to conflict with motherboards based on Nvidia's latest nForce chipsets, though. We couldn't get the Xonar detected in a motherboard based on the nForce 790i SLI reference design, with the Vista device manager reporting problems with a PCI-to-PCI Express bridge.
