Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus Pure Edition
SKU: 21065556
The Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus Pure Edition is a high-fidelity internal sound card designed for the PCI-E interface. Engineered for gamers and audio enthusiasts, it bypasses the electrical noise of standard motherboard audio to deliver pristine sound quality.
The Sabre32 Ultra Class DAC provides a clean signal path, supporting high-resolution audio up to 32-bit / 384kHz. This allows for exceptional detail retrieval from modern game audio, music, and movies. The card introduces Sound Blaster's proprietary Xamp discrete headphone bi-amp. This multi-amplifier design individually amplifies the left and right audio channels, minimizing crosstalk and delivering a wide, immersive soundstage.
With a 122dB signal-to-noise ratio, the audio output remains clear and free from background interference. The inclusion of Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect encoding gives users the ability to output multi-channel audio over a single S/PDIF connection to external audio systems or gaming headsets.
The 'Pure Edition' features a refined black PCB and I/O panel design, complemented by customizable RGB LED strips that can be synchronized with other components.
