prices on 10 models5.1
— the minimum format required to provide surround sound that "surrounds" the listener from all sides, and at the same time — the most popular modern format for such sound. Provides for the use of 6 speakers: centre, right / left front, right / left rear and subwoofer for bass. It is worth purchasing such a card especially if you plan to use external speakers, because. very few modern headphones are capable of fully reproducing multi-channel sound (and even those are usually connected directly to the computer via USB).| Prices Prices | Suitable for Suitable for | Connection Connection | DAC DAC | SNR SNR | Headphone Amp | Inputs Inputs | Outputs Outputs | Channels Channels | |||
