I've only had my card for a short time, and am mostly satisfied with it thus far.  The sound quality is great.  I must say, however, the installation was a little annoying having to run a SATA power cable to it.  I've never had to run a power cable to a sound card in all the years I've had PCs with sound cards.  I would have preferred the smaller headphone jack versus using an adapter, but that's a small annoyance.

How does it compare to AE-5?

"I would have preferred the smaller headphone jack versus using an adapter"
 
The reason why it is setup with the larger plug being the default is that some higher end headphones actually use the larger plug and using an adapter from the larger size to a small jack puts to much strain on the smaller jack socket or you have to use an adapter cable. Much easier to use the larger jack and if need use the adapter for the small jack headphones

 
 
True and it would be better to have to replace the adapter then having to replace the graphics card because of the strain on the socket.
 
As for the review hopefully we see an update to this thread to answer some of the questions EVGA wanted to try to get feedback on. It shouldn't be that hard and feedback can be good or bad as long as it's honest. Don't feel you need to update the review all at once just over the time of use feel free to update the review and it's if you want to.
