Review on Upgrade Your Audio Experience: EVGA NU Audio Pro Surround Add-On - Lifelike 7.1 Surround Sound, PCIe with Audio Note Design by Todd Amarsingh

I'm not a player, so I can't describe this card to you; You can find reviews complaining about background noise and more in certain game situations. So I'm wondering why the box is basically showing off the map for gaming purposes. But if you're an old-fashioned stereo music lover like me, you won't find anything better than this card, especially if you take the opportunity to upgrade their swappable op amps. The included op amps are pretty good, but the Burson V5i I bought definitely sounds even better. The Asus Xonar Essence is probably a match for this card - I have one but on a different PC with different components. And it's probably more suited to gaming and maybe even home theater. But it's much more expensive. The same goes for NuAudio Pro. Installing NuAudio was very easy. (You need a dedicated SATA power connector.) You don't even need their software as Win10 x64 will recognize it and install the drivers. But unlike some other reviews I've seen, I love their software and enjoy using it. Highly recommended if music is your muse.
