High-Resolution PCIe Sound Card

The Creative Sound Blaster AE-9 is a 32-bit, 384 kHz PCIe sound card designed for enthusiasts who want high-fidelity audio from their computer. It includes a separate Audio Control Module that provides convenient access to connections and volume adjustment. This hardware suits gamers, streamers and audiophiles seeking a dedicated digital-to-analogue converter with discrete headphone amplification.

Xamp Discrete Headphone Bi-Amp Performance

The Xamp discrete headphone bi-amplifier drives left and right channels independently, reducing crosstalk and maintaining control during demanding passages.
