Computex 2015: Powercolor Devil HDX PCI Express Sound Card

Computex 2015: Powercolor Devil HDX PCI Express Sound Card

The Devil HDX PCI Express sound card will feature crystal clear Hi-Fi audio. Using supreme quality components, excellent layout design to reach 124dB SNR, and offering crystal clear sound quality for audiophiles, gamers and enthusiasts alike will be blown away by its quality.

The Devil HDX has built-in headphone amplifiers with a 6.3mm phone jack with amplifier drives up to 600 impedance on headphones that provide thundering high fidelity sound strike to your headset. The swappable op-amp sockets allow users to create exclusive timbre, allowing different sound quality and overall user tunable custom experience for all. And with the multi-channel daughter board, users can enjoy the 7.1 channel surround sound.

The card is powered by a C-Media CMI8888 native-PCIe processor connected to a Wolfson WM8741 primary DAC with 124 dBA SNR. Amplifying this, is a TI LM4562 OPAMP. Nichicon Muse electrolytic with metalized polypropylene caps against signal loss.

Anyway, have a peek, looks like dedicated audio cards are making a return as ASUS has some new kit soon as well.

Looks cool, but I have a question:

What kind of audio set ups take advantage of the 7.1 daughter card? I thought that people connect a HDMI cable to their receiver. I've never set up surround sound, so I can't picture it.

Older 5.1 and 7.1 speaker systems, my 5.1 uses the 3 coloured 3.5mm jacks (never use anything other than 2.1)

Could always use another player in the soundcard market. Both Asus and Creative have horrible driver support for their products.

That is a nice dac there in the Wolfson, but when I think of powercolor devil video cards makes me a bit leery. Looks like a solid card tbh.
