The rear panel features optical I/O, gold-plated stereo RCA I/O plus an integrated phono preamp for direct recording of your vinyl collection from your turntable. The front panel includes a conveniently located 1/4” microphone input and 1/4” headphone jack with a studio quality headphone amp and volume control. However, at over £20 more than Asus's PCI-E Xonar DX, and little extra to offer the average gamer, the X-Fi Titanium isn't the best choice for an affordable gaming sound card.USB Sound Blaster X-Fi HD is an audiophile-grade sound system with premium connectivity for your Notebook or PC. Its support for both DTS and Dolby digital standards make the X-Fi Titanium a good option for film lovers who don't want to shell out on a dedicated home theatre audio card.
There's also an Audio Creation mode, and the obligatory ASIO driver, but with just a single 3.5mm line input and limited MIDI capabilities, the X-Fi Titanium wouldn't be our first choice for audio production.ĬonclusionWith the depreciation of the EAX standard, Creative's cards have lost a little of their edge as the gamer's first choice for audio, but the X-Fi Titanium is nonetheless an excellent card. It's worth taking advantage of the driver's different modes to make the most out of both music and movies (Entertainment mode) and games (Game mode). Perhaps because of its gaming focus, and because of its reliance on a single DAC, the X-Fi's analogue audio output isn't quite as clean as that from either of Asus's cheaper Xonar cards, although the difference is barely noticeable and largely one of personal preference.
Creative provides software support for several Dolby and DTS surround sound standards, including the excellent Dolby Digital Live.

The S/PDIF in is an interesting feature, but largely useless unless you want to play or record digital audio from another source.Ĭreative's software and driver support has regularly been a sore point for users of their sound cards, but we didn't have much trouble getting everything up and running, despite a minor issue with some conflicting patch updates under Windows 7. The X-Fi Titanium has more ports than either of the Asus cards in this test, with dedicated optical S/PDIF in and out ports in addition to the usual 7.1 analogue outputs. This makes the X-Fi Titanium an appealing alternative to more expensive models in Creative's range, as it has the same X-Fi CA20K2 processor, 8-channel Cirrus Logic CS4382 digital-to-analogue converter (DAC), 4-channel Wolfson WM8775SEDS analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) and SNR of 109dB. However, few developers have taken advantage of X-RAM's advanced capabilities. X-RAM can also be used store additional high-quality sound voices, assuming a game is designed to do so. X-RAM promises more: it's automatically used by OpenAL to improve frame rates in games by caching uncompressed audio to reduce the need for on-the-fly decompression. These aren't major losses - in practice, EM shields don't make a major difference to the already minimal interference from other system components.
