For me it is better than a dac. Out of sight and sounds just as good to my ears.

Works awesome with my beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro’s (250ohm). Powers them well, sound is great!


Have always been a fan of Creative's sound card line up since the days of Win 98. This card is no exception... it was easy to set up, and even gives my Creative 7.1 surround headphones a run for their money, compared to it's own 7.1 USB sound device. I have them paired with a sound bar; easily switches between the two with little to no recognizable sound differences at lower volumes.

I brought this because my mother board sound card was dying and was unable to install an internal card due to my graphics card being mounted vertically in my case preventing access to the card slots. This little device was easy to connect and use having noticeably better sound quality than the original mother board audio before it developed issues.


* Quality of sound * Lots of sound options * Very good design

Comes with low profile bracket. Sound is great compared to onboard sound component.

easy to install and has front hdaudio plug so I didn't loose my front audio jack

The Asus Sabertooth Z77 motherboard audio (Realtek) would not work with Windows 10 no matter what driver I tried. This little USB2 device worked immediately and there is a nice Control Panel available for download. The sound is very good.

Sound Quality Build Quality Portable


Right out of the box it has been working just fine for me. Clear audio highs and lows. I'm using it via optical and it works perfectly. The small form factor was nice as well. More breathing room for my GPU.

Amazing Sound, Amazing Software, RGB(It Glows!)
