    Customers like the sound quality of the sound card. They say the sound was so good in each case that they couldn't turn it down. Some customers also mention that the source is audibly loud, so why they can't get good volume on the Nu's. However, after a week of burning in, the audio sound is wider, cleaner, and more dynamic, making the music sweet.

    Customers are mixed about the ease of installation. Some mention that it's simple to install, follow the prompts, and use the software. However, others say that the drivers would not install, there was a terrible install path with the driver bundle, and the card was only capable of being installed in one computer.

    Customers appreciate the clarity and detail of the sound card. They say that the sound quality is balanced, detailed, and wide-ranging. Customers also mention that the highs are bright, clear, and don't cut the brain. They also appreciate the detailed control panel and the immersive, explosive, nuanced, and lifelike soundscape.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the quality of the sound card. Some mention that it's fabulous, nice, and overall good, while others say that it fried itself and part with the I/O frame.

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the sound card. Some mention that it works great, and everything works smoothly. However, others say that it does not work with multiple SATA output plugs, and their system would not boot with the card installed. The line-in stopped functioning and the microphone jack would only work via direct connection.

    "...for Win7 x64 were downloaded from EVGA site, installed, but card couldn’t initialize and stayed undetected in Device Manager...." Read more

    "...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..." Read more

    "...The first one arrived DOA, I installed it and my computer would not power on. I called EVGA and very quickly determined that it was simply dead...." Read more

    "...The PC rebooted and everything worked perfectly, so apparently plugging in the headphones and then unplugging them is what was wanted...." Read more

    19 customers mention9 positive10 negative

    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.

    "...In summary the creative card is a very good deal right now with a software package that has already been very refined, and is clean and functional...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the compatibility of the sound card. Some mention that it's easy to install, with no hitches on their system, and the interaction with Windows 10 has been stable and non-invasive so far. However, others say that it has a compatibility problem and is not compatible with all modern, AM4 based chipsets.

    "...There still seems to be a few compatibility errors when the 7.1 expansion card is installed and the virtual surround isn't a whole lot better than..." Read more

    "...The software is simple to use. The interaction with Windows 10 has been stable and non-invasive so far. I'm a happy listener on all those points...." Read more

    "...STX II sounds good but it has a serious flaw - it is incompatible with all modern, AM4 based chipsets...." Read more

    "...So it's a compatibility problem, but I'm not sure if it's the motherboard or the sound card...." Read more

    8 customers mention0 positive8 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the software of the sound card. They mention that it's terrible, basic, and crashes. Some say that the QA is abysmal.

    "...The bad part is the QA is abysmal, but at least EVGA has the best CS in the industry and it is not even close...." Read more

    "...This EVGA card has very clunky software that has a very basic and a not very visually appealing GUI...." Read more

    "...The software is a bit basic but this is the first dedicated sound card I have owned so I can't say how it stacks up in terms of competitors..." Read more

    "...The biggest negative with this card is the software. It is basic, which is passable, but could use features that other manufacturers provide...." Read more

    Watch the solder connections on the back of the PCB and the S/PDIF TosLink Socket
    4 Stars
    Watch the solder connections on the back of the PCB and the S/PDIF TosLink Socket
    Winner out of the Gate Points:Once the unit was installed and the driver and software was operational; the sound is rich vivid and audiophile-grade in nature. Aesthetically the RGB lighting is cool and programable, but the look is more ASROCK TAICHI or ASUS Prime than ASUS ROG or Gigabyte Aorus or MSI Godlike. You can see the images at EVGA's website.So after listening for awhile , I feel the marketing hoopla is warranted. When the card is driving some KRK Rockit 5 Studio Monitors, an immersive, explosive, nuanced and lifelike soundscape can be heard and felt.The software is simple to use. The interaction with Windows 10 has been stable and non-invasive so far. I'm a happy listener on all those points. The downer here is that EMI/RF noise due to the non-shielded monitors can be heard, though at a very low level when using the default speaker output versus the S/PDIF optical output. So RFID shield cloth here I come.Try Again EVGA Points:I didn't like that the TOSlink port immediately fell apart. It uses a pressed-in door and socket mechanism which is too delicate and immediately parted with the I/O frame after a gentle tug on the premium optical cable (TOSlink S/PDIF). If you look at the same TOSlink Port on anything else you own that is still working, you will see why those manufactures DO NOT use this trap door plastic S/PDIF port and why that device still works after many insertions and cable pulls.The other design item I really didn't embrace is "the taller than usual solder joints protruding from the PCB". I was hyper vigilant in assessing whether the card would for any reason flex sufficiently to make conductive contact with the AMD Radeon 5700XT GPU (Metal Shrouded) and ultimately mounted it first on the PCI-e bus. Mine now has an insulating felt layer to avoid shorting should the chassis bounce a little (Not shown in photo) or otherwise anything metallic finds its way to the surface.I really feel the sound quality is stellar, but some of the design oversights should be addressed to reduce warranty claims and improve functionality. It's brand new for EVGA, a tenured company in the PC performance/enthusiast marketspace so I don't feel this indicates a systemic issue and at the time of this review, some or all those issues may already be resolved in the current inventory.While I do want mine fixed so that the S/PDIF (optical) port is usable, the sound card sounds much better than the onboard premium ASUS Realtek unit (ASUS Crosshair Hero Ryzen mobo) and is worth the money I spent on it.I replaced some tired PCI-Only RME Audio 9632 cards and also disabled the onboard Realtek). Most people are happy with the onboard sound which is pretty good as they come on ROG motherboards but adding this audio card offers a "really obvious sonic upgrade".Finally Grace UK's expertise is finding itself at the heart of distinctive products like Izotopes' Spire Studio mic preamps so the pro audio resume brings confidence to this purchase. Thanks and (no -thanks as noted) EVGA.

    Reviewed in Mexico on October 26, 2019
    -No sé por que la comunidad gringa empezó a tener tantos problemas con ésta tarjeta de audio, Tal vez simplemente utilizaban extensores de PowerSATA o cables que no son originarios de la fuente, en mi caso tengo ya 10 días con ella, funciona excelente! (utilizo una linea directamente de la fuente de poder sin compartirlo con SSD o discos duros, son de CableMod para una P2 de EVGA) luce bellísima, me encanta por que ya tengo una RTX2080ti de evga y luce muy bien al lado de ella.
    -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.
