Customers are mixed about the performance of the sound card. Some mention that it works great, and everything works smoothly.

Customers are mixed about the value of the sound card. Some mention it's very well worth the price and has great sound for the price, while others say that it'd be a waste of money. The price is not justified, and the sound quality is poor. The product is unusable for most consumer non-gaming uses and the EQ settings don't save.

I bought this sound card to replace my onboard Realtek audio card that had stopped working, most likely from being mishandled by the military's genius packaging and moving companies that are contracted to pack up, move, and store military personnel (and family's) household goods. I'm a retired and disabled combat veteran, so upon receiving my HHGs after they were in storage in a warehouse for over a year and a half, the sound card no longer worked, the video card was broken (No video), and the front cover to the case was cracked and broken as well. So, I set off to repair my old, dated, antiquated computer, of which had Windows 7 as the Operating System (OS). I took the computer case apart, super-glued the cracked and broken clips/ pieces back together, and snapped them back into place. I then went on EVGA's website and ordered a new video card; this being the 2nd video card that I had purchased from them as I was entirely satisfied with the previous one (the video card that was in the computer currently), which was bounced/ thrown around by the military's expertly contracted and oh so gentle moving companies (a bit of sarcasm there, if you are not able to detect it).
After receiving the EVGA video card (I believe it was the EVGA Novia 2500 or something like that, I can't accurately remember at this point), I installed it and I had great video once again.
Then, to beat all, I ran into another problem; NO. SOUND. AT. ALL. My onboard Realtek audio card had $hipped the bed (should I state again), most likely as a direct result of the military's oh so careful and gentle moving contractors that they hire to move us guys that sign/signed/have signed a blank check (with our lives) for this great country for which we go to war and for which would die.
So, I began looking for an audio card.....I trusted the EVGA products; they had worked well enough for me before, so I went back to their website, and low and behold, they had an audio card on there! So, I went to Amazon, bought this NU Audio card of which had 0 reviews and totally placed my trust in EVGA, AGAIN! Little did I know that once receiving the $250 card, EVGA would NOT have the drivers for a 32 bit Windows 7 OS for which to download. HOPELESSNESS!!
I sent an email to EVGA's customer service about the issue and first received a response that EVGA would NOT be producing a 32 bit Windows 7 OS driver to download; I felt totally hopeless at this point, as you can probably imagine! Not being programmed to take "NO" for an answer, I emailed EVGA's customer service AGAIN and restated the problem and told them what I had been told in the previous reply. I received a better, more pleasing and hopeful message back; I never should have been told what I was told prior and that EVGA WOULD be creating a 32 bit Windows 7 OS driver, BUT did not know how long it would be until it was created and distributed via their website, nor was any estimated time frame given for when the driver would be available for download. Again, hopelessness!
After attempting to troubleshoot, experiment, and play around with powering down/ up, pulling different cards, placing different cards in different locations/ slots inside my computer, and basically doing everything in my power that I knew to do with the different cards and options that I had available to me in my computer at this time, I then decided that the level of expertise that I required was at a local computer shop that had worked on my sister's computers one time before. So I took it to them, they convinced me to upgrade to a whole new computer.....so $560 later, I have this new computer built around this 1 single EVGA NU Audio card. It works great though, with all of the "bells and whistles" of changing colors of light as it plays heavenly sounds that only Jesus Christ himself should have the pleasure of jamming out to!
So, to sum up everything above, I went through Hell to get to Heaven and am enjoying every bit of sound that comes out of the EVGA NU Audio sound card!! I would highly recommend it!! It took me on a heavenly ride to a brand new computer, of which need to be upgraded 5 years ago!
After getting card in my hands I was love it’s sturdy design. I installed it my system and started the system, actually started my problems with card… Drivers for Win7 x64 were downloaded from EVGA site, installed, but card couldn’t initialize and stayed undetected in Device Manager. Several installation-deinstallation and reboots didn’t help, the card failed to initialize. Funny to tell but finally I installed drivers for Win10, but I had to turn off built in motherboard USB 3.0 controller. It wasn’t obvious step. The card is working now, but it doesn’t remember some parameters and I can’t switch to 32 bit sound. Better not to touch it yet it works and no new driver exist.
The main part of review on sound card is sound quality (obviously). First I noticed that 600 Ohms headphone support is for check because sound is not enough powerful for HD580 with 300 Ohms impedance. It was first flaw of the card for me but it was not incorrigible. The problem was resolved with installation of APO Equalizer and setting Preamp filter to +8 Db. Secondly I did expect stunning effect from 250 dollars sound card… and didn’t had it. The sound was good, correct, but it exciting, there wasn’t desire to replay some music albums, rewatch film from my collection, make a run in game. But we don’t give up and search easy ways. From previous experiments with swappable OPamps I left Burson V5i – very good OPamp capable of drastically change sound quality of media device. Nu audio was dissected and before swap OP275 on more decent OPamp I could enjoy of quality built card and it’s design, I’m radiotechnician by additional school education. The change of sound quality with this measures was amazing, now I can say it is wow-effect! Bass is punchy and deep even on HD580, whis is monitor sound headphones. Highs are bright, clear and don’t cut the brain. Mids are good, but not so as they were on Dx3 Pro. The overall sound quality is balanced, very detailed, wide scened.
I summary pros are: exellent sound quality (with V5i). Cons are: price (with V5i), weak Amp for 300 Ohms headphones, coitus with installation, problems with drivers (so far).
Maybe I will update this information with new drivers coming and new headphones purchase.
Top reviews from other countries
After reading reviews, since I'm not interested in 5.1 gaming and mostly use mid range headphones (sehenizser momentum 1.0) this seemed like a good choice and I decided to splurge a bit. After installing it and listening to the same files, the sound stage is even richer than the one with the sb cards let alone compared to the onboard one. Recently I've went ahead and tried some high resolution (350k sample rate with 24bit) and let me tell you, my ears feel like listening to butter compared to the same CD quality sound files.
For anyone with sensitive hearing with lossless music (or at least 320kbps mp3's) I really really recommend this card.
-Para sacarle jugo necesitas excelentes Audífonos, (Si tienes audífonos 'gamer' no pierdas tu dinero en esto y mejor comprate buenos audífonos)
-Se ha probado hasta ahora con audífonos Sennheiser HD 598Cs y HD650! se escucha precioso!
antes utilizaba solucionens de Tubo de Sybasonic y Soundblaster por USB, pero tenían algo que no agradaba, opté por comprar ésta para sacar partido de los Sennheiser y todo lo que escucho se escucha excelente! utilizando una impedancia de 300 Ohm, los bajos jamás hacen que se ensucie el sonido, que no pierda la calidad, con los soundblaster siempre que hacia uso de bajos ahogaban totalmente mis audífonos cosa que con ésta solución de EVGA no. Todo esto probandolo desde el Jack 6.35, aún no he probado las salidas RCA, aún estoy en planes de comprarme unos monitores de estudio para sacar partido aún más.
-Al escuchar archivos FLAC, DSD se asegura un rendimiento optimo, si compras esto no te pondrás a escuchar MP3.
-el software es excelente, sencillo para cualquier persona y tiene la posibilidad de hacer utilidades más avanzadas para usuarios más avanzados, valga me. En el mismo software puedes controlar el volumen maestro de Windows 10 así como el volumen independiente del sistema solo para los audífonos cosa que se agradece demasiado al momento de grabar Gameplays o en general para uso cotidiano, de cualquier manera también es bueno controlarle de primera instancia con el EqualizerAPO para gestionar mejor eso. Puedes seleccionar escuchar sólo con los audifonos con el 6.35 con un icono y cambiando dicho icono, puedes pasar a usar los RCA para escuchar tú música con Monitores de estudio con la misma configuración de volumen y efectos que ayas guardado para el Jack. De igual manera puedes Switchear a Sonido Optico para un Home theater o sonido 7.1 con las mismas configuraciones.
-Tienen un sonido de 32 Bits Punto Flotante, 384000.
-Claro que debe tener RGB, estamos en plano 2019 papá!
-Los juegos, la música, películas en particular (asegurate que sean de muy excelente calidad)
En especial los juegos, los probé con la reciente salida del Gears5 que tiene sonido DTS, chulada de sonido!
-Lo recomiendo? Yo sólo lo compré por que soy algo entusiasta del sonido y quería ocupar esas línes de PCIExpress! pero de igual manera hay soluciones por USB que no están mal!
Si quieres conectar unas buenas bocinas 2.0 o Monitores de estudio, una solución más barata son unos Topping D10 Mini USB!
-EVGA jura por su madre que seguirá actualizando el firmware así que.. esperemos que si.
Update 2020/06/18
-Mi EVGA Nu audio, sigue funcionando perfecto! con mis Sennheiser HD660s y mis Beyerdynamic 880!
Vi que salieron nuevas versiones en color naranja y con un añadido extra para Surround, pero tengo años con una Sound Blaster Audigy fx exclusivamente para un sonido 5.1 de logitech así que no lo veo necesario de momento, tal vez cuando se me heche a perder la Audigy pero aguanta durísimo que ya lleva 4 años funcionando espero lo mismo que la evga.
Update #2 10/06/21
Dos años después, sigue como nueva y se sigue escuchando muy bien, preciosa tarjeta de audio para escuchar música con Audífonos de gama alta y sobresaliente en gaming.
Sólo el RGB es malo a mi opinion, no representa para nada los colores que buscas.

Sólo el RGB es malo a mi opinion, no representa para nada los colores que buscas.
LED der RGB kann man in verschiedenen Modi einstellen, oder einfach ausschalten. Was ich Optisch nicht so toll finde ist, das die Backplatte komplett Schwarz ist. Orange-ne Akzente wie auf der Oberseite wären schön, damit hätte man auch sichtbares Orange.
Funktion:
Die Soundkarte ist von der Leistung vergleichbar mit der Creative AE-7 hat meiner Meinung nach aber einen besseren und einfacher zu bedienen Treiber. Leider Aktuell nur in Englisch. Die Soundkarte erkennt z.b die Maximale Bit rate von Angeschlossenen Verstärkern und Mikrophonen. Die Schaltungen der Relais sind hörbar, (Soundkarte an, Soundkarte aus) Hört man eindeutig. Wirklich gut gemacht.
Die Wiedergabe der Sounds (Flac, aiff, tta) ist sehr Hochauflösend, und selbst bei lauten Lautstärken, immer noch Liniear. Ohne das die Soundkarte die puste ausgeht. Verwendet wird sie an einen Edifier Nahfeld Monitor. (Studio Lautsprecher)
Ich finde das Sie ebenfalls mit der Creative AE-9 mithalten kann, nur das die Evga Nu Audio Pro keine Externe Geräte im Lieferumfang hat.
