Testurteil: "4/6"
Test: Einzeltest: Terratec Aureon 7.1 Pci
Zitat: Dolby digital encoding gets even cheaper
As with the HDA card, you need a Dolby Decoder and 5.1 speakers to get the most from the Aureon, but if you have these, and can live without the more advanced positional audio effects that EAX 4 and 5 provide, then the Aureon is a good-value proposition. In fact, if your only concern is listening to CDs or watching DVDs then it´s perfect. Its small size also makes it ideal for using in a media PC housed in a SFF case. If you need a sound card that offers the best music and game audio, then you may be disappointed with the Aureon, as it´s outperformed by the X-Fi. However, the Aureon is £50 cheaper than the cheapest X-Fi and still offers sound quality well above that of motherboard audio, which makes it worthy of consideration..
