Some time ago, ASUS announced their plans to enter the sound card market, with models targeting primarily gamers. This information was received with a solid amount of scepticism, as we could seldom see anyone who thought that a fresh sound card could beat Creative X-Fi models. However, Creative caused quite a deal of controversy recently with some of its decisions (we refer here primarily to Vista drivers & software, which you have to pay the postage for, should you want to have them on a CD; the download is free, naturally) and the displeased customers have set a few forums on fire. This was a crucial moment to enter the market, and ASUS used it to the maximum. Of course, the product itself has to be up to par, and read on to see whether it is.
