5 out of 5 stars Very Good for Music Listeners or Creators   August 25, 2007

I got this card to replace an X-Fi Fatal1ty card. The Xonar is superior to it in many ways. First of all, it includes many of the Dolby technologies designed for home theaters. PC users will also benefit from this, the card has Dolby Headphone and a Virtual Speaker which delivers incredible sound quality in any environment. Second, the drivers for this card are solid. Unlike the X-Fi, this card is designed for 32 AND 64-bit computers. To Creative X-Fi owners, this means you can turn on Cool n' Quiet without popping. You can also turn on the memory hole (if you have 4GB or more of RAM) and not have to deal with the snapping, crackling, hissing, and popping noises. Third, if you are a digital music creator, the Xonar comes with a whole suite of music creation software which makes the steep price tag worth it even more. Finally, the audio controls included in the driver package allow users to tweak the sound to perfection. The only thing this card doesn't do as well as an X-Fi is gaming. The Xonar only supports up to EAX 2 not EAX 5. This is a small issue as most games don't support it anyway. The X-Fi also delivers greater performance in gaming. However, the difference is negligible.


5 out of 5 stars great sound! Worth the price!   April 9, 2008

I upgraded from a Audigy 2 and am using a headphone jack to RCA splitter running to an integrated amplifier and high quality tower speakers. This card is great! Awesome sound quality and hearing the subtle sounds missing before in music and in games. Really a big difference from before. I can't personally compare it to the high end Creative Pro card, but from all the research I've done it blows all the Creative products away, is cheaper, and there's even a beta driver for EAX 5.0 so in case that's an issue...
