Review on 🔊 Vantec NBA-200U USB External 7.1 Channel Audio Adapter (Black) - Enhanced Sound Experience with USB Convenience by Michael Miles

As an audiophile I have tested and used many PCI sound cards in the past, from 1st generation Soundblaster sound cards (ISO to PIC) to other expensive and cheap cards. I've been using HTPC and building my own rigs so I know a thing or two. This sound card uses the C-Media M6206 chipset which sounds GREAT! There are other brands you can get from this card e.g. B. ad startech and vantech. The one I use is from Vantech. I've had this card for over a year now and it still sounds fantastic. I've since switched to other systems and love docking this laptop to my gaming laptop. I have both analog 5.1 and digital SPIDF connected to a Harmon Kardon receiver. I changed the settings and both outputs work at the same time, which sounds incredible. Once you turn on optical mode, you'll see it shoot a light (fiber optic) red laser out of your cable. I got it coming out of USB and into the receiver. In addition, I've connected a Bluetooth transceiver and can set up two-way audio if needed. They also have IN/OUT for OPTIC, so your possibilities here are endless. I use it as official 5.2 surround sound but really unofficial 10.2 as I use both analogue and optical at the same time. You can't go wrong with 5.1 or 7.1. I have decided now is the right time to write a review and deserves 5 stars for both price and value for money. I wouldn't care if it died, I'd happily buy another one, but I still drive.
