Using the best sound card also requires the best in other departments to enhance the effect. We utilize 3 different brands of speakers here to test the 5 cards. Ranging from CREATIVE's own CAMBRIDGE PCWorks 4 point surround system, 2 sets of AIWA SC-CD40 3pcs speakers system and also a set of YAMAHA YST-M20 3 piece system.
