| thugboy77's Full Review: Yamaha CAVIT DP-U50 Sound Card |
I've had it a week and I love it. I got it on sale for $50.
Setup was effortless - I plugged it in and WinXP detected it immediately. I put the CD in the drive, and that installed without any fuss. I don't know what the previous reviewer had a problem with, as I'm using XP home and it worked perfectly.
The sound is great. Easily better than some of the SB stuff I've heard elsewhere. Its also more flexible - it can take RCA and optical-audio inputs from other devices, so you can capture sound directly from a DAT tape or DVD with optical output.
The only downside is that it lacks an internal amplifier. I believe other models in this line do, so grab one of them if that's more what you're after.
