Creative Sound Blaster AE-9
Product code: 70SB178000000 | ID: 384277
At the intersection where today's cutting-edge audiophile technology meets 30 years of Sound Blaster processing experience, they set out to redefine the best of PC audio. Paying homage to audio enhancement legacy and never-waning thirst to explore the possibilities of audio, the Sound Blaster AE-9 is quite simply the best PCI-e sound card they have ever made.
Marrying the best of hardware with a 129 dB DNR and 32-bit / 384 kHz playback from the hi-res ESS SABRE-class reference DAC and very own Xamp fully Discrete Headphone Bi-amplifier, together with critically-acclaimed Sound Blaster audio processing technology that has been refined and perfected over the last 3 decades, the AE-9 can be described with a single word — pristine.
And it's not just specifications. They have put in thought into every single aspect of the product, including the launch of a brand-new feature — the CleanLine Technology, engineered from ground up to eliminate voltage rail issues and isolate noise along the mic path for crystal clear voice communications.
