It was so sudden. I learned that the Comex 2005 begins on the 1st of September so with friends, I went down to Suntec Exhibition Centre where this computer exhibition was held. 1 of them traded in his Audigy 1 for a $50 discount off the normal price of $229. Another brought an old and faulty SoundBlaster AWE. I just went ahead with the normal price.
Because I recently switched to new speakers, I didn’t have enough time to get used to Audigy2 + Klipsch so I couldn’t tell how much improvement this sound card brought me.
But I’ve tested the 24bit crystallizer and it makes music clearer. I’ve yet to test the Game Mode which supposedly improved game sounds. Also, my Winamp ASIO plugin can now resample music to 96KHz from the previous 48KHz which makes music very more natural!
Now more reason to open up the Half Life 2 voucher I got from buying my 9800PRO graphics card and install it.
