Product Description

 
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum has just redefined quality audio for high-end music lovers and gamers. It offers expanded front-panel connectivity with infrared remote control and is the only PC solution to enable the Advanced Resolution DVD-Audio era with 24-bit fidelity playback at 192kHz-stereo and 96kHz-5.1. With 106dB SNR, 6.1 speaker and Dolby Digital Surround EX support, this is the home hi-fi that outperforms domestic audio packages and carries the THX quality stamp to prove it! For MP3 enthusiasts, Creative MediaSource offers exciting features like Library search, SVM automatic volume matching across tracks and Audio Clean-Up for noise removal, while SB1394/FireWire allows super-fast transfer of files to devices or PCs. Finally with the power to enable EAX Advanced HD and 64 3D hardware voices, it delivers the ultimate in-game audio immersion, while bit-true 24-bit/96kHz recording and ASIO support make it the ideal all-round solution.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum: Best sound capabilities in it?s class

Why? For the last 5 years I ve been using a...
