Review on Enhanced Metallic Gray Creative Sound Blaster AE-9 by Mateusz Wycech ᠌

It is unlikely that I will blindly hear the difference with Asus Xonar or Julia, but I wanted a full-fledged center channel and rear for home CT. Its pros: I liked that there is a per-channel delay, a cool thing, it's a pity you can't save their settings as equalizer settings. And of course, it’s good that the crossover frequency with the subwoofer is configured from the card. Some cons: Whether it’s true that the marriage is being brought to the 2022, or they are all like that - when installed in the case parallel to the rest of the PCI slots, the screw bar rises with a huge skew, in order to fix it, you had to put in several mm of spacers (the rest of the boards in the system unit will be installed exactly, the problem is precisely in this ). If you tighten it with a screw without spacers, the card will be strongly skewed in the slot, most likely it will not start. In this case, there will be problems with connecting the wires, they write that the breakdown of the interconnect connector is not uncommon, maybe that's why. There are no traces of repairs, as some wrote here, everything is neat. It looks like you can not completely turn off the backlight, the numbers will always glow.
