Philips PSC724 Ultimate Edge Six Channel Soundcard Review

January 10th 2005 | Multimedia

I was skeptical about this sound card, as I believed that my onboard sound was actually not bad at all. For 69.99 though, this did so much more! The installation was a breeze, it auto-detected to override my onboard sound, the drivers were installed easily without any moving/searching for files. I was disappointed to see that people who have older computers still running Windows 9x/ME/NT can’t experience this card though. I also think that there could have been a better choice than MusicMatch.

Great Product Award

Pros:
- Excellent Sound Quality
- Mid-priced ($69.99)
- 5.1 Surround Support
- 24-bit Sound
- Easy Installation
- Easy Configuration
- Excellent Software Suite
Cons:
- No Windows 9x/ME/NT Support
- Better choice than MusicMatch?
- Lack of CD-IN Cable
- Poor Availability
