Review on Enhance Your Gaming Experience with Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus Pure Edition Sound Card: Unleash the Power of SABRE32 Ultra-Class Audio Technology, Dolby Digital, & DTS by Jnis Bukovskis ᠌

Got what I expected. Has some pros: Works out of the box. Quite good digital sound in HiRes format through optics on DAC, amplifier, speakers. Sound environment in games. The headphone output (gaming headset) gives a fairly high-quality sound in terms of detail, depth (subjectively, of course). There is also a whistle blinker in the form of customizable RGB backlighting and LED bulbs in the case. Some cons: If you do not be a person with initially-eternally overestimated requirements for everything, there are no shortcomings. As a sound card for games for your money without pretensions.
