| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Many problems with optical output, Poor customer support
I use it to connect my PC to a receiver via the optical link, but I find the mute button, the volume control, the headphone all stop working. The PC flashes the message "invalid speaker configuration".
<br />I then called the customer support. The guy had no clue, keeping saying "maybe", "yes", "possible"... In the end, he concluded it was supposed to work that way (of malfunction). | 2 | 749 days ago | My favorite sound card
Actually, I loved the Philips Acoustic Edge, an earlier and internal sound card, but it did not like my older dual-processor system. Because of that I was a bit skittish about using their current internal card with a processor that uses hyper-threading - which Windows treats as dual processors. I bought the Aurelium instead. I love this thing! I am a bit of an audiophile, and this sound card is just perfect. With my Klipsch computer speakers, it makes a perfect combination. | 5 | 749 days ago | Solid External Audio Card
The Aurilium does a wonderful job of upgrading both the quality of sound that you get from your computer system and the control you have over that sound. It features easy to install but comprehensive software that helps you configure your sound to fit the room you are in and control and adjust that sound. I listen to a great variety of music on my system, including classical, jazz and rock, and the ability to adjust for the right sound is critical. The Aurilium's interface is really a work of art and a pleasure to use.
<br />
<br />Several notes: somewhere in the description I was led to believe there was an internal amp; there is only a pre-amp, and you either need powered speakers or a further amp to combine with this. It is very difficult to get powered speakers with quality sound. This easily controls a 2.1 or a 5.1 system, and easily configures each.
<br />
<br />Highly recommended. | 4 | 749 days ago | Excellent low-cost solution for work
I bought this item from Amazon when they had it on sale for $25, and have to say it's been one of the most useful things I've brought to work.
<br />
<br />I have an extensive collection of MP3s that I've ripped at high bitrates (VBR ~224Kbps), and I want to hear them through something other than the standard headphone jack on the PC, which has a lot of hiss, crackles, CPU interrupt noise whenever I type or scroll.
<br />
<br />This is a super low-cost external digital solution that answers almost all of my requirements -- absolutely noiseless until you start playing, no CPU interrupt noise, and the EQ bands are centered where I like them (31, 62, 125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k 4k, 8k, and 16khz) for good, beefy bass and crisp highs.
<br />
<br />I have a pair of Koss PortaPro headphones I use at work. Just get these. I still blow away my friends with the bass and clarity that comes out of these things (15-25k!) This combo will give you a hugely satisfying audio experience for such a low price. | 5 | 749 days ago | It's ok
