The asus is a cracking card for the money ran a dgx version for a while great little cards. Holding out for some 3tb+ drives on two

What's the sonar like vs HDMI ouput from a graphics card?

Considering the sonar at that price for my lounge PC, outputing to a Denon 5.1 amp.

It's a shame it's PCI, I'd be in if it was PCI-E!

No use at all, you're outputting a digital stream to your amp, the amp does the decoding.

Lovely price on the Sonar!

I totally don't need a new soundcard...have ordered one anyway, too much of a bargain not to

Is the drive quiet (somewhat)? Last optical I had screamed whenever a disk was in it but I know it was unusually loud.

Great price on the DG!

I guess praying to Gibbo for a Soundblaster Z got lost in translation :<

I shall lurk the front page for as long as it takes!

noob question but how does this compare with the sounds on an ASUS ROG Ranger z97 MB which I hear is already really good? Also how does using one of these work when you're watching blu-ray movies or other HD content? Does it replace the onboard sound from the graphics card, ie where do I plug in my new headset?

I'm sure some one will tell me I'm an idiot for asking these basic questions but I've always disregarded sound cards but this price is making me reconsider
