“Dolby sound makes such a world of difference in music.”
“It enhances the music a lot; I can basically hear all instruments clearly now in tracks in which I couldn't hear them well before, and the tracks sound more natural (like someone were playing near me, not like just speakers).”
“The spatial sound card is an absolute must-have for gamers, but also for movie- and music freaks.”
“My only real complaint is that I wish there was a way I can import EQ settings for headphones I own since I EQed them to diffuse field using Equalizer APO + Peace, so the low end doesn't sound too boosted in certain games and multi-channel music.”
“No good if you use your PC for music as well as gaming.”
“Bought this software since it was cheap and figured I would test it, I highly do not recommend.”
