![]() The GPU is of course a capable of utilizing DirectX9 (although poor performance) Pixel Shaders 2.0+, Vertex Shader 2.0+ and OpenGL. All-in-all an impressive package for a mid-end product. Also included into the package is a FireWire card to connect your DV camera or any other FireWire device and the software to start editing movies at consumer level. That's not it though, the product is fully VIVO (Video In and Video Out) which means you can playback and record media files. The Gainward Music2Go is a surprisingly good USB soundpuck, and the SoundXPlosion 5.1 surround headphones are better for games and DVD than they are for music.Īrmed with a RED PCB, kick'ass cooling and ramsinks Gainward tried to get your attention. Gainward Music2Go 7.1 & SoundXPlosion 5.1 headphones Trademark red, C-Media's CM106-F is in charge. There is a USB controller on the back of the PCB, but other than that it is a clean design. Note the metal disk on the right to keep puck from flying away. There's no information in the datasheets about fidelity, other than 'high-end.' The DAC's are good for 16-bit/48kHz on all 8 channels. It's also a single chip solution by C-media. It still has the trademark Gainward red PCB. Internally the Music2Go caught my attention. The 3D filter is a 5.1 channel API, converting 5.1 channel on stereo speakers (or headphones) and expanding 2 channels to 5.1. Sensaura provides the HRTF 3D ear fooling, while the other two API's, EnvironmentFX and C-Media Xear 3D Filter, provide some interesting reverb and mixing effects. It's not a hardware solution, but it gets the job done. Xear 3D is a software solution combining Sensaura3D and two other API's. The 3D positional audio is handled by C-Media's Xear3D technology. Like so. Oh, the buttons on the top are volume, up and down. It is distracting enough to have you reaching for something to cover them up, quickly. What you can't tell from these pictures is that it has four very bright blue LEDs that flash at a seizure inducing rate while it is playing sound. It will tend to look like ORAC with all the cables connected. It supports a fairly boring 16 bit/48kHz sample rate, but it played a 24 bit/96kHz sound file just fine. It has 8 channels of analog output matching every new sound card, including support for Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES. The Music2Go has pretty much the same features as a conventional sound card that you would install inside your PC's case.
