I looked for sound cards across the web and wanted the Onkyo, but do not get in the U.S.. . . or at least I did not find it.

I had already downloaded the latest drivers from the website of M-Audio. . . the other was proposed by a user. . . and was installed to use (do not), the drivers on the CD. The wizard for the driver to find no problems. I rebooted and everything works the first vez.El sound is incredible and he had a substantial improvement. Also bought Belkin Pure AV Cable. . . no sense to update the sound card without removing the pipes. . . and the combo really brilla.Tengo the sound goes through an old Aiwa shelf system. It has 6 preset equalizer settings, and Metzger system more or less solid. I always had to use the EQ settings to get a solid “decent,” but I have a great sound from now on with the settings. I spent several hours last night listening to old favorites nuevo.El next step is to insert a running amps of Nice received by all.

I was playing with a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum for a few years with a pair of Swan M-200 to lossless. wma on my PC. The sound was good, but not what I would call it high-end. That a search began for the best audio solutions. Focus on a card with high quality stereo analog outputs, the M-Audio was nice to get comments. That brings me to give it a try, and I’m glad that I did not run. Great sound. I think it is probably at the border area alta.No use comments to balanced connections or MIDI interface – you do not keep, but for high-quality stereo sound, this card is the best I’ve used.
