Customers are impressed with the NU Audio Sound Card's sound quality, describing it as amazing. Gamers are particularly enthusiastic, saying that no gaming PC is complete without one. The only concern mentioned by some users is the need for extra power.
Great audio card I choose to go this route instead of external because I go to LAN parties from time to time. It pushes my Sennheiser 58x and my Hifiman 4exx etc to their full potential with no issues clear clean sound works great with the software I wouldn’t use the windows software because it lacks some of the features to really give the card the adjustments you want. Overall I have no complaints at all. I has controllable rgb and has a side port if you want to attach the front case audio jacks to it.

This Sound Card sounds great. But if I'm going to be honest, in terms of sound quality, there is no significant difference in music sound quality between the onboard sound of my Asus Z490 motherboard and the New Audio. There is also no difference between sound quality in my external audio interface and this sound card. Nowadays, most audio chips sound great, and beyond a certain price point, it all sounds good. However, the Nu Audio has a much more powerful amplifier then the onboard sound. It can fully drive all my audio gear and there doesn't seem to be any electrical interference from the graphics card. Also, the RGB looks cool! If you don't want to buy an external USB powered audio device to save space, then this card is great for that. Installation was quite easy... But some things to consider. Make sure you get a SATA cable with 5 wires and preferably just connect straight to the PSU without any other devices on the line to reduce chances of electrical interference. If you don't see the RGB turn on when you power up your computer, then something is wrong. Also, DOWNLOAD THE MOST RECENT DRIVERS. At the time of this writing, the version you should download is 2.1.14. EVGA's website isn't designed well, and it is easy to download the original version 1.2.3 driver from their website. They really need to fix that.

I have owned multiple kinds of soundcards. Xonar, Sound Blasters and finaly this one. I was using a BlasterX G5 and it is a great card but I have a pair of Audio Technica ath-m50x Monitor Headphones and felt like I was missing out of the full potential of these headphones and I picked this up and HUGE Difference! Sound more full. No distortion at all. Not geared just for gaming. You can tell when they made this car they had mainly music for the main use. But it great for gaming also. can hear footstep clearer and crisper and can tell the difference between a far away sound or closer. Also I normal do not review stuff I purchase but this card is slept on. Sound cards are a dying breed and people normal don't think of how much audio loss there is buy using on board audio and then They hear a true sound card with a Great DAC and hear sounds in song they have listened to millions of times and hear sounds they never heard before.
