andrew_manik 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2004 Planning to use this soundcard<TerraTec EWX 2496> for listening to music on my pc. Is anyone using this soundcard and if so what are your thoughts on the card? Last of all is there a shop in singapore selling the card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbirkett 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2004 If you can get this a reasonable price, it is a good card. I use one with the CD3000 and previously was using an X-Can v3 but I am now waiting for a Perreaux SXH-1, and it sounds really good. It has a very full bodied sound with hard hitting bass and silky smooth treble and overall a slightly warm sound, it sounds better than any midfi CD player I've heard, this using Foobar 2000 upsampling to 24-bit 96KHz ASIO. Despite its warmth, its a lively and enjoyable performer, and goes great with the CD3000. Not sure where you can get one in Singapore though. I paid £130 UK POUNDS for mine, some people in the US have claimed they are able to get them for $99 USD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firefox 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2004 so... these cards are sonically superior to the creative soundblaster, right? Most definitely, yes. I even question why you'd want to use creative soundcards as a benchmark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
