Product information

Description

The Creative Labs Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus is an internal PCI-E gaming sound card and DAC that supports discrete 5.1 speaker output and up to 7.1 virtual surround for speakers and headphones. It uses a SABRE-class DAC delivering up to 32-bit/384 kHz playback and a 122 dB DNR signal-to-noise ratio. The card includes customizable RGB lighting and an included RGB LED strip, and is compatible with Windows via the Sound Blaster Command software.

Advantages

The Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus features a custom Xamp discrete headphone bi-amplifier that individually amplifies left and right channels for lower distortion and improved channel separation, and provides an ultra-low 1 Ω output impedance capable of driving studio-grade headphones up to 600 Ω. The SABRE-class DAC offers high-resolution audio with low distortion and jitter, while Dolby Digital Live and DTS encoding enable real-time surround encoding for compatible receivers. The integrated Aurora reactive RGB lighting is customizable through the software.
