I am very interested in this card, Mostly because its new an will likely have much better driver support compaired to other things i was looking at.
 
There is a couple of things that is worry me slightly, lack of features built into software so far, i like messing about with settings to get a sound i like ( i have seen the equalizer tho )
An seeing some reports that people are having volume issues with low impedance headphones, i think my sennheisers are 28ohm and the AKG's are 32ohm.
 
I currently have a asus maximus 10 hero motherboard and that struggles to power these even with the amplify level to extreme, but yet it powered cloud alpha's that are 65ohm perfectly an they were much louder.
 
I think the sennheiser's and the AKG's are just harder to drive for whatever reason as impedance is not everything. But i dont want to fall into the same problem of not having enough volume.
 
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any experiance to share.

    See if you can test them at a Micro Center Store as they do sell the NU Audio Card, but Sold Out at my Local Store.

    Hi thanks for the suggestion but we dont have microcenters here in the UK, an unfortunetly not many stores that will have soundcards set up to try.


    Id be looking to purchase direct from EVGA really.

    Sorry
    But NU is a UK Company so you could ask them, give them a call and see what they say.
