Customer Review: Best Sound Card
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for amazing sound quality, this is the sound card for you. I bought it because I wanted the front panel, and my X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro (the previous version) didn't have one. I never thought anything could compete with the XtremeGamer, but this card does! I'm impressed. Don't hesitate to buy it.
Here's a brief summary of some of its awesome features.
X-Fi
Technology that plays sound at higher quality than it was recorded at.
X-Fi includes:
CMSS-3D
Removes the effect of the distance between your ear and the sound source. Without CMSS-3D, if you have a good ear, you can tell how far the speaker is from your ear. The sound changes with the distance. Even if you don't have a good ear, the sound may seem strange after switching from speakers to headphones. CMSS-3D removes this effect. It works even better in games. 3D positional audio makes you hear 7.1 surround sound through regular stereo headphones.
EAX environmental effects
It's called that for a good reason. It's not just any reverb. If you're recording your own music, you can add professional quality reverb. But in gaming, it gets even better. Games can add their own algorithms to make it sound like you really are in the Grand Canyon, for example, without bogging down the CPU, wasting space with multiple versions of game sounds, or producing an audible transition from one set of game sounds to another.
Crystallizer
Upconverts all sound to 24 bit and intelligently restores the details to MP3s.
Voice morphing
Makes your voice sound like a robot, an alien, a soldier, or whatever you want.
Noise cancellation
Supports headsets with two microphones. This works better than headphone active noise cancellation because one microphone records your voice, and the other one senses all other sound, which is removed by the sound card.
Entertainment mode, game mode, etc.
Makes it easy for you to save specific settings for what you're doing. So when you switch to game mode, EAX effects and other game settings are automatically enabled, and when you watch a movie or play music, switch to entertainment mode to turn off EAX effects so you don't hear double reverb.
X-RAM
Boosts game performance by offloading game sounds from the main memory.
This sound card has lots of handy inputs and outputs. Standard headphone/microphone jacks and RCA inputs on the front panel and headphone - 7.1 surround jacks and digital optical input and output on the card.
I had no trouble installing this sound card in a PCI-express slot. The only thing it didn't do was connect to a standard front panel - they want you to experience the full sound quality of the included panel. The panel was also a bit tight in my 3.5 inch front panel bay. I'm sure it would fit fine in a 5 inch bay with the included 5 inch adapter. A couple of minor problems were that the registration software did not work on Windows 7 x64 and the automatic update software tried to download every version of the driver update, right back to the beta versions. This isn't a problem because I don't enable automatic updates; I can just download the latest driver from the website. You don't even have to do that; you can just install the software with the included CD. The drivers are very solid and always have been. I have not had any problems of any significance.
Specs:
Output: digital/analog 24 bit 192 Khz stereo - 7.1 surround
Input: digital/analog 24 bit 192 Khz stereo recording
I am amazed by the sound quality of the X-Fi Titanium and by the quality of Creative products in general. Creative also has very good support. I highly recommend this sound card to everyone. Don't hesitate to buy it!
