It's the most expensive sound card ever, but Creative's new Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro is also the most feature rich. With an audio chip that can actually make compressed audio sound near to its original quality and a more streamlined interface, the X-Fi Elite Pro sets a pricey new standard.
Creative has been going strong since the days of ISA sound cards because its family of audio products moves with the times. This is reflected well in the new four-strong range of X-Fi cards of which the leader is the Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro under review. The X-Fi cards span a price range from about £100 to £250, offering enthusiasts add-in alternatives to the on-board audio that is common in many of today's PCs.
