The card's layout is typical of Auzentech and is said to be optimized for quality of signal. Very simple and clean workmanship are trademarks of Auzentech products. The backplate shows Auzentech’s stylish gold connectors. You have Mic input, Line input. The outputs are front, side surround, center and subwoofer and back surround. The RCA connectors are Digital Coaxial input and outputs. There are adapters preset in the package to modify the coaxial input and outputs to optical. The rear pin header is for Auzentech’s line of X-tension boards and there is also a front audio connector for users with these connectors preset in the case. There is also a very BRIGHT green LED (Light emitting Diode) on the card that flashes while the PC is powered up. Auzentech always has a features poll on their website to get feedback from their customers as to which features they would like to see in upcoming products. PCI-E is a preset option on those polls I wouldn’t be surprised if a PCI-E version showed up later on.
