According
to Heise.de, the new Asus sound card Xonar D2X feature 3D sound processing
and support Dolby Digital Live, DTS and 5.1 surround sound. The Xonar D2X
records and reproduces sound in HD (192 KHz/ 24 bit). All this processing power
creates lots of heat and the new Asus sound cards need a cooling fan. Of course,
Creative will not be too happy about new competition :-) Asus has a great name
from motherboards and also established itself quite a bit in the graphics card
market. Now Asus has set their eyes on the sound card market.
