PowerColor Devil HDX Soundcard Review
They slaughtered the lamb ...
Welcome to another sound card review from the Guru3D sound labs. Today on the slab is the latest sound card from PowerColor, who need no introduction from their line of video cards, and it’s a beast. I know you’re thinking PowerColor must’ve had their headphones on too tight when they thought of branching out into the sound card market, and you might be right. There are a lot of good sound cards, the Xonars and Sound Blasters, but PowerColor didn’t just put out a luke-warm offering, no they slaughtered the lamb (proverbially, I assume) and went full high end. Let’s meet the PowerColor Devil HDX.
The PowerColor Devil HDX is a native PCI Express sound card built around CMedia’s CMI8888 APU and a Wolfson WM8741 DAC, delivering 192KHz, 24-bit, audio quality, and a long list of high-end features that should perk the ears of the most jaded PC sound enthusiast. Features like the full-sized ¼” (6.3mm) headphone jack, 600 Ohm rated OpAmp, and a soul eating, dark black 124dB SNR, make for a very tasty elixir of capabilities.
One would expect such features on an external DAC/Amp box, but now you can have it for a moderate cost in a PCIe card. At least to me, the Devil HDX is a very serious sound card. But, is it a deal with the, ahem, devil?
