It has been revealed that Creative is
currently in the process of creating an audiophile sound card in the form of
the Creative Sound BlasterX AE-9. The new soundcard by Creative is expected to
be priced at US$ 299.
The Tech Power Up website explains a little more
about what you can expected from the new sound card. “Creative said the card is
rated at a 129 dB signal-to-noise ratio and uses an ESS Sabre 32 digital analog
converter – a known quantity in terms of quality. Creative’s XAMP, which
amplifies each stereo channel of headphones out separately, is also present.”
