wonderful model, really honored

Quite a decent card. Of course, it doesn't fully power the Sennheiser HD380 pro (in the 64-300 Ohm mode), although it's not really necessary. The base is quite sufficient, unlike the integrated sound. P.S. It used to have a normal Audigy with it, and the sound was better.
so far everything is ok, right
