With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Excellent soundcard! Works perfectly out of the box.
First let me say I've been building systems for 20+ years, and have been using Sound Blaster products since day one. I have had all of the latest, including soundcards from other brands. IF you want to use this with high end headphones - stop right here and buy an Asus Xonar or something else. IF you want a fantastic sounding card that is going to be used primarily for gaming, then this is a great product. Some will say the X-fi cards are better...maybe...but sound is such a subjective thing that I couldn't possibly tell you what works best for you. For me, I'm using Polk floor standing speakers, a Martin Logan Vignette center channel, Mirage 10" Powered sub and Mirage wall mounted rears on an Onkyo 7.1 receiver using all Audio-quest cabling. I used to sell high-end home audio equipment so let me describe it's sound qualities:
I use this for music listening and gaming, and this sound card is miles ahead of the Realtek onboard on my Rampage IV Extreme. It has a very warm...

Creative is no more... Time to move on!
I've owned the X-Fi Platinum Champion for close to 6 years. I've held on to the card and refused to trade it off simply because it came with everything I need. 5.1 in the back, SPID/F and RCA in the front, I had all of my gadgets plugged in, sound bit-matched at 24-bit 192k/Hz. Life was good. Granted, I had to go through sleepless nights of researching, patching and playing with everything from drivers, the various utilities creative made for various cards, various version of the THX console, even using various 3rd party drivers until I got the sound and functionality that the card was actually capable of.
Well, sadly, the card died after all these years.. and this is not a SoundBlaster X-Fi Platinum review.. this is a review of what Creative decided to be the newest family of that very specific product line. Except the first thing that you will notice is the absence of "X-Fi", this is because Creative is now using their new dubbed "Recon3D" chip which is supposed to be the...
Nice card.
Very nice card. Reminds me of how Creative products are supposed to be. Attractive software and very easy install. Actually works perfectly with windows 7 (and we can assume 8 as well as 8 is just 7 with a "touch" interface.)No crash nothing.
Headphone amp is a HUGE deal. Given the price of this card, I can imagine only people who really value audio from their computer would be buying, and thus should have good quality German headphones. The amp really lets these kinds of headphones show off what they can do when fully powered.
The I/O drive is great as well. Easy access to headphone and quick change of speakers or headphones is so nice.
The only real complaint so fair is Creative taking out EAX effects, like for music. I loved the creative cards with the settings to add concert hall or theater effects to music, adds so much depth and richness. CREATIVE PLEASE YOU MUST ADD THIS BACK! PLEASE.
All in all it seems like Creative is trying to...
