Not Another Sound Card Review

AuzenTech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect review Oh, my head! I've just been on a four week bender with a sound card. As strange as that may sound (and there are worse things to have a bender on), there's something pretty awesome about a Home Theatre PC setup. Only with this bender, I have watched a lot of movies, played some hot games, and listened to a lot more music. My eyes are bloodshot, my ears are ringing, and I think I used to have a cat. Somewhere in the middle of this review I have discovered I might have a problem.

The cause of all this? Well, that would be Auzentech's HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS-Connect, and I've had a good time of it. I even got the wife to watch a Star Wars movie with me.

Honestly, this is unheard of.

In the beginning there were plays, then came opera, and finally moving pictures. Fast forward a few decades and we get the ultimate art form: pr0n... no, wait... I mean musicals, where characters burst into song for no good reason. Soon you have full-length HD movies with surround sound and it's all contained on a small CD-sized disc that you can play on your PC. Then, like a shiny black obelisk parked in your back yard, thus became home theater.

Anyway, I can't say that the X-Plosion 7.1 had some small part in that, but I can say that there's something to this HTPC thing. And I can only imagine the results on a larger scale, like what you would find in a decent Home Theatre. A large part of the experience is the screen for the moving pictures, but another vital part is the sound.

Meet the Auzentech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS-Connect:

An Immaculate Collection

The Auzentech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS-Connect and bundle. Concise and to the point.

The HDA X-Plosion 7.1 is a little special as you shall see. You get some fine gold plating, several serious outputs, and an intelligent, well thought-out design.

Auzentech X-Fi Home Theater HD 7.1 Soundcard review
Auzentech has been developing an HDMI soundcard for quite a while and this new card is said to be loaded with features for any audio tasks. Today in the Guru3D audio lab, we have a brand spanking new Auzentech Home Theater HD 7.1. This ongoing one-upmanship between existing companies is what drives the soundcard market and ensures new products are higher quality and offers new and innovative features to the audio community. The HDMI standard is still considered new in the PC landscape, and while many GFX cards offer HDMI options for graphics the audio side of the standard has been ignored and is lacking. We are going to run this card through our extensive testing and measuring regimen to let our readers know exactly what you will be getting for your hard earned audio dollars.
