if you are like me with sensitive ears, you have to have volume compression enabled when using headphones or you get pains from any loud noise. onboard audio compression is always trash and never improves.
SVM was the name of the volume compression for the xfi series, it has been renamed to SmartVol on this card. Setting it to full "night" mode, emulates the same quality compression from before.
crystalizer is crisp without it sounding like an eq mod.
At the Amazon Renewed price, this card is a steal. Comes with everything in the retail box.
