New Soundcard :) (SonicXplosion)

Well I got it yesterday. The SonicXplosion.
Sounds great. Gaming is different, I'll have to get used to actual 3d positional sounds.

The headphone amp onboard is brilliant. I can take it very loud without distortions. Where as on my onboard if it was loud it sounded shit.
I had to swap a jumper then plug into the blue jack. If I plug my earbuds into the normal output its very weak.

Fully gold plated + 5 year warranty, I think I'll be keeping this for a few years at least.

Now Im off to decide which headphones to buy. :D

Good to hear, nice to know there's another satisfied TB consumer.

Meanwhile I'll still be stuck on this gaydigy for a couple more years.

I said to myself right from the start that I wasn't going to buy creative :P
Thank for the recommendation Jay. :)

It took me 3 weeks to finally talk myself into it though. :lol:

congrat wortel. :)

I have the exact same card Wortel, I got it in the last OCAU group buy..

Best damn soundcard I have ever owned..

Makes creatives efforts look backwards..

Is it better then an Audigy 2?

Quote from KILLER:
Is it better then an Audigy 2?

Sif ask a question like that.

You would have to decide for yourself.
Id say the audigy2 would be better for games I guess.
But this sound card seriously kciks ass. :twisted:

Lets just say I had to pick between the 2 and I picked this one.

Any problems or even small flaws? Where u using your onboard sound before that? If so what motherboard do you have? Is the sound difference defintely noticeable?

i remember your post on OCAU a few weeks ago.

Is the sound difference noticable.

Let me think...... FUCK YES!!!!!!!!

what kind of dickhead question is that??
Its onboard sound it was SHIT!!!!

(i hate onboard) on my Epox 8K3A
