SOUND BLASTERX AE-5 EXPERIENCE GUIDE
At the heart of the Sound BlasterX AE-5
sound card is a 122dB Sabre-Class DAC
that instantly boosts regular motherboard
audio with up to 32 times more clarity.
This premium audiophile-grade component
with its high dynamic range indulges users with up to 32-bit/384kHz* lossless playback and true
audio fidelity for high-definition audio in games, movies and music.
* On Windows 10 and above
The on-board headphone amplifier is custom-built using discrete transistors and
audiophile-grade WIMA® film/foil capacitors in a dual-amp design to satisfy the
most demanding needs of today’s intense games and high-resolution audio.
Experience the difference of a discrete dual-amp design as each audio channel is individually amplified
to deliver pristine, uncompromised audio. Plus, the high heat resistance of the German-made WIMA
capacitors greatly reduces noise and audio interference. The Xamp’s ultra low 1Ω output impedance
also makes it perfectly capable of driving studio-grade headphones as well as sensitive in-ear
monitors from 16Ω to 600Ω.
