From our news: Auzentech caught ears of audiophiles everywhere a few months ago when they announced that they would be releasing their Prelude sound card with Creative's X-Fi CA20K audio processor. According to DailyTech, it will be available in retail channels next week, from NewEgg in the US and NCIX in Canada. The card will retail for $199 and probably kick some serious ass. If you dislike Creative but still want a superb audio card from Auzentech, you can read our review of their X-Meridian which we posted a review for earlier this (http://techgage.com/article/auzentech_x-meridian_71/) year.

Auzentech’s X-Fi Prelude 7.1 is the first third-party sound card based on Creative Labs X-Fi CA20K audio processor. Auzentech one-ups Creative’s official offerings with AKM digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital convertors. The Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 achieves a 120dB signal-to-noise ratio with 24-bit resolution and 192 KHz sampling rates. Additionally, the X-Fi Prelude 7.1 features a user-replaceable OPAMP for the front-channel audio output.
