 Aureal SQ2500 Sound Card

What's better than a good thing? Well, how about when you make it better? That's exactly what sound card maker Aureal has done with their latest offering, the SQ2500. Based on the AU8830A2 Vortex2 processor, the SQ2500 delivers the same A3D 2.0 sound you get with the Diamond MX300, Xitel Storm Platinum, and other Vortex2 based cards, only with a revised chip, claiming improved performance.

Overview

The SQ2500 is the first product to ever carry the Aureal name to retail shelves, and it does so with an exciting twist. It has revised hardware, a new coaxial digital output, and a software bundle that will be sure to turn heads. So does it address the CPU issues? Does it set itself ahead of the rest of the pack? Should Aureal's first offering to the 3D Audio market make its way into your system? Read on to find out...
