Hmm, that review actually makes me consider the Audigy 2. I didn't know it was that cheap.. Here in Canada I've seen the Revo for $150, but the Audigy 2 OEM is $115. And the Revo is alot slower for games; so disappointing they didn't add dsound acceleration, at least as good as the dmx 24/96.
Anyone know what type of spdif in/outs the audigy 2 (no breakout box) comes with? |

When you want to use the Revo 7.1 as a gamer you'll have to know that EAX seems to be only half-way implented.
EAX in ALL Bioware Games, from Baldur's Gate to Neverwinter Nights, is not supported. Too bad that these are almost the only games I play  The only game I have tested with this card and EAX works is Gothic 2. That is strange, since Baldur's Gate is nearly 5 years old and Gothic 2 is from 2002. |

QUOTE ...All music playback tests were conducted with a set of Philips MMS305 4.1 channel speakers... Blah... my SB Live! also sounded better than the M-Audio Delta 410 using Klipsch Promedia 5.1 speaker set ($399). So putting sound cards through listening tests using a $150 4.1 set of speakers is like comparing different cars' performance on an ice surface. |

Just found it couple of minutes ago. This should be the best review around. |
