10/10
The Sound Blaster AE-9 is a pricey card but it does everything it sets out to do incredibly well.
The AE-9 is the sound card that made me believe in sound cards again on a conceptual level, and if that's not enough of a recommendation I don't know what is.
The built-in audio on your PC motherboard is usually just good enough, but sometimes you want to really get immersed in games and enjoy movies how the production teams intended. That's where something like the Sound Blaster AE-9 really makes a difference.
Easy to setup well performing card
I have had this card for a few weeks now and it still amazes me! I went from a WAY older soundblaster card to this and its a night and day difference. I do everything from listening to music to playing games with the occasional watching a movie and everything sounds so rich and clean. I do have the DAC paired with a pair of Sennheisers HD660S AND HD650. I thought the headphones were awesome before....
What sets this PCIe sound card apart from others is the addition of the Brown-Burr Op amps. After a comparative listening test, I found that the AE-9 possesses a pristine acoustic clarity across the full sound spectrum, which can be refined even more to the users tastes by swapping out Op Amp pairs. The included Audio Control Module means no more fiddling with cables behind the desktop. Top tier capacitors and gold connectors round out a superior feature set, yet at an attractive price point compared to other high-end PCIe cards. The AE-9 meets my DAW needs while exceeding my audio expectations.
