Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1 Review
by Robscix     |     September 4, 2007

Conclusion

Auzentech definitely listened to their customer base when they headed to the drawing board for the Prelude 7.1. It has a bundle of wanted features that were almost impossible to get on one sound card up until now. I am very impressed with this card from start to finish. The sound quality coupled with gaming features and new high resolution digital output specifications (which will be added) make this one solid offering from the Auzen audio group. It is in my opinion a modern audio masterpiece. It sounds very open, full and dynamic and it easily sounds the best out of the cards tested. I did a quick comparison with my neighbors X-Fi X-Music and you can easily hear improvements. In fact it is one of the best cards I have ever heard and had in my lab for review. Indeed, Auzentech has succeeded in creating a card that has something for everybody.

This card gets a 5/5 from this reviewer and will stay in my system until I have to review another audio card.

PROS
• Solid drivers
• Amazing sound quality
• Replaceable front opamp
• High quality parts
• Cmss3D for headphones
• Driver updates offering new functions to the user

CONS
• Digital surround features not present at time of release
