Asus Xonar D2X PCI-E Soundcard Review

Mon 2008-01-14 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Bit-Tech has posted a review of the Asus Xonar D2X PCI-Express soundcard.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“Is the Asus Xonar D2X worth the money? Absolutely, if you require a PCI-Express soundcard and want the best currently available, but as an alternative to the many PCI soundcards I’m still not so sure. If you’re a fan of older games and you’re running Vista then this could certainly be very tempting, but it’s probably an expense not worth bearing unless you want to play and use at least some of the many features included.”

The lack of EAX 4.0 and 5.0 support should probably be a concern for hardcore gamers. However, those who are mainly concerned with superior audio quality will likely find the Xonar D2 a suitable alternative to Creative’s X-Fi.
