Creative Sound Blaster AE-7 PCIe Sound Card, 127dB DNR ESS SABRE-class 9018 DAC, Xamp Discrete Custom Bi-amp, Discrete 5.1/Virtual 7.1, Dolby, DTS

Description

HARDWARE ACCELERATED AUDIO

The addition of AE-7 to your PC rig basically means one thing – you’re adding in a dedicated quad-core processor designed with one goal in mind – to deliver incredibly pristine and enhanced sound on your PC without overstressing your CPU. Sound Blaster handles audio processing on the card itself, freeing up your CPU to handle other tasks.

Enhanced audio is only going to sound as good as the components delivering it, and with the AE-7, we’re not pulling any punches. The AE-7 features an ESS SABRE-class 9018 DAC that delivers an incredibly clean 127 dB DNR audio stream at up to 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM and DSD64 Playback. If pristine is at the core of your demand, the AE-7 is going to blow past your expectations.

CONVENIENCE

Take easy control with the ACM that is incorporated with a built-in microphone array, ¼” and ⅛” connectors for mic and headphones input and output connections. You can conveniently adjust the volume with the knob on the ACM – all within your fingertips.
