i recently upgraded from an x-fi platinum edition. hooked up to a pair of mackie hr824 monitors, the sound coming out of this card is remarkable. clearly superior to creative's x-fi cards in every way. if you are an audiophile, this is the card for you.

Rating: - Card fails expectations
First problem I came across was getting power to the card: The box didn't ship with a power cable which is ridiculous considering it requires a mini four-pin that has been impossible to find (even online). Anyhow I finally daisy-chained several MOLEX Y-connectors to reach the board. The last in the series is a Y-connector that converts to a mini-4pin. The card was recognized on boot but complained it still required an extra power supply. Ugh!
The drivers installed without any errors ... Read More

This sound card is fantastic. I am so happy to see a company contend with Creative; Creative is good, dont get me wrong, but they need competition to make themselves more "creative" and drive down costs for the consumer. The Xonar D2X is Great for PC Games, recording, and Movies and is more capable than any Creative product to date at doing all three.

Great sound card. Once you understand what your doing this sound card sounds great. I have this paired with my logitech z5500 and its the best option i think for Windows Vista. Recommend it for Vista users.
