Very straightforward install with drivers available from maker for download. On best quality the sound is good with a decent weight to low and low mid, open and airy at mids and top. Software with drivers has some sonic enhancements which you can experiment with. It won't seriously rival a high quality usb DAC like an arcam for hi fi stereo, but it sounds nice with the analogue output fed to a decent amp or headphone amp, costs much less money, and it has surround sound capability, which hi fi dacs usually don't. In my experience usb dacs priced around the cost of this card pre-owned are awful. And onboard soundcards are usually not anything special, so it's going to be a noticeable improvement over either. Not at all power hungry. If you have a spare full width pci slot give it a go.

it did the job it was intended for, bit of a faff to start off with, i thought it was a duffer but in the end i had just not done it right so go to the audigy web site and down load the right driver and bingo it works!
