News has reviewed a HDA X-Plosion 7.1 Sound Card. X-Plosion is the world's
first audio card to include DTS connect and Dolby Digital Live.
Features:
- C-Media CMI8770 PCI chipset (8CH audio single chip with DTS Connect and
Dolby? Digital Live Real-Time Content Encoder)
- 8CH codec embedded PCI audio single chip
- Full-duplex 8CH 24bit/96kHz DAC / 2CH 16bit/48kHz ADC
- Integrated S/PDIF input/output supports 44.1kHz/48kHz/96kHz sample rate
and 16/24bits resolution
- The world's first DTS Connect logo program certificated PCI audio board
- DTS Interactive: A real-time 5.1 encoder that takes any 2 or more channel
and encodes it into DTS bit stream. DTS Interactive provides a single cable
connection via S/PDIF
digital audio output to a DTS enabled
surround sound system by encoding all audio into a DTS compatible bit
stream at 1.5Mbps
- DTS Neo:PC : An up mixing matrix technology that turns any 2 channel audio
into 7.1 surround sound. DTS Neo:PC, based upon DTS Neo:6 matrix surround
technology, transforms any stereo content such as MP3, WMA or CD audio, into a
7.1-channel surround sound experience
- Dolby Digital Live(DDL) Real-Time Content Encoder converts PC audio into
a 5.1 channel Dolby? Digital bit stream
- Swappable dual DIP type OPAMP controlled preamp circuit (4pcs output
control OPAMP IC with DIY socket, 2pcs MIC input control OPAMP IC with DIY
socket)
- Max 2.8Vrms full swing analog output gain by unique preamp circuit /
incredible powerful analog output, improve dynamic range / SNR
- Proper OPAMP control circuit (+8V, -8V dual power supply circuit) for high
quality audio quality, prevent audio distortion at high volume level
- Package content: HDA X-PLOSION 7.1 DTS Connect Audio Card / MPC to
MPC(2pin-2pin) CD S/PDIF audio cable / TOSLINK fiber optic digital cable /
installation CD / warranty card / owner's manual
Overall, this card is an excellent alternative to
the Creative Labs Audigy 2ZS that I was using. It was missing some features that
made usability easier like a connector for the front ports, but the card makes
up for that in versatility of the Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect features.
If you already have the Audigy 2 or better, and it is working fine for you with
your current speaker setup, there may be no compelling reason to upgrade to this
card. If you find yourself needing the features of the Dolby Digital Live or DTS
Connect, then is your card of choice. Based on the multitude of features and the
sound quality in my TV room, and despite front connector shortcomings, I give
the HDA X-Plosion a Grand Slam! Thanks to Stephane Bae of Auzentech for the
review sample.
