PowerColor Devil HDX sound card, 7.1 channel surround, PCIe x1 [SCM888-DHDX]

The centerpiece of the sound card is a Cmedia CM8888 audio processor which Wolfson WM8741 with a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) has been paired. By supporting the headphone amplifier TI LM 4562 can headphone models operate up to 600 ohms. In addition, the Devil HDX benefits of interchangeable op-amps, which allow the user to create different timbres and sound combinations. In terms of SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), the Devil HDX operates at a high level, reaching 124 dB and 120 dB via RCA 6.3 mm jack.

The Devil HDX uses a proprietary 4-pin Molex power connector, instead of receiving the stream as with other sound cards from the expansion slot. This means above all a clean power supply and guarantees interference-free sound. In order to increase the quality to the maximum, PowerColor has the sound card a ?? EMI Shield ?? missed, which not only looks cool, but the signals also shields against any interference from other hardware.

When Devil HDX a 7.1 daughter board is included in delivery, provides what real 7.1-channel surround sound with 120 dB SNR outputs. The daughter board is connected by means of a multi-channel and an HD audio cable. The card itself uses a PCIe connector. It is therefore not compatible with conventional PCI slots. It should also be noted that main and daughter board together will occupy a total of two expansion slots.

The software package also falls very rich from, with Xear Surround, Xear 3D, Xear SingFX, Xear audio Brilliant, Xear Dynamic Bass, Xear Smart Volume and Xear Voice Clarity is the user prepared for all eventualities and is fully adjustable.
