The Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD outputs a bitstream of high-definition, multichannel audio from Blu-ray Discs with no downsampling, to take full advantage of lossless digital audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio when combined with Cyberlink PowerDVD (available separately). Developed in partnership with Creative, Cyberlink and Silicon Image, the X-Fi HomeTheater HD has broad support for the latest audio technologies in the marketplace.
PCI Express: PCI Express (PCIe) is a serial bus standard that provides a higher throughput than the older, parallel PCI bus standard. Unlike PCI Express sound cards built with PCI processors adapted for the PCIe slot, the X-Fi HomeTheater HD is built around Creative Labs' PCI Express processor. As a native-PCI Express sound card, the X-Fi HomeTheater HD can take full advantage of the higher-throughput of the PCIe bus.
HDMI v1.3a: Enjoy Blu-ray in its full glory! The Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD is the first and only industry-supported native-PCI Express soundcard offering uncompressed audio supporting 24p True Cinema output. By delivering crystal-clear all-digital audio and video via a single HDMI connection, the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD dramatically simplifies cabling and provides the highest-quality home theater experience. In compliance with HDCP and AACS, the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD can play Blu-ray Audio with no downsampling, and play High bit-rate Audio such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream without altering the original sound when combined with Cyberlink PowerDVD (available separately).
Security: The PCI-Express independent data transfer structure provides secure performance, important because Audio requires continuous data processing that is both secure and continuous.
Performance: By using the latest Creative native PCI Express chipset, the Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD card provides the highest performance audio available for consumer home theater applications. With 64MB X-Ram, it will also process complicated 3D sound effects with the greatest of ease.
Sound: The Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD soundcard is designed to provide the best audio possible for Music, Gaming and Movies. Auzentech selected high end audio components, a 115dB D/A converter, and tuned the analog circuit for peak performance. In addition, discerning of audiophiles can tune the sound via replaceable front (L/R) Operational Amplifier (OPAMP).
