    CNET Review

    March 9, 2005

    The Good: Supports DTS ES and Dolby Digital EX 6.1 decoding; 7.1-channel output; 24-bit/96KHz output; supports DVD-Audio; extensive external-device connectivity.

    The Bad: No USB 2.0 port; software suite is not intuitive; pricey; Entertainment Center software can't display CD track info.

    The Bottom Line: Creative's Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro is the must-have sound card for hard-core gamers, PC-theater aficionados, and audiophiles.
