I guess Creative is updating their entire line launched in Europe nothing about a US launch.
 
I still have a few of the older AE-5 Plus. 32bit/384kHz is nice and all, but only listening to some high-def music, but some other DAC's are better (and cheaper). Most games only support 24bit/128kHz. It's annoying to have to switch from high-def to mid-def.
 
like most people can even hear the difference...
good option if you insist on internal or need the connections i guess. i still prefer to use hdmi to a receiver for atmos/dtsx....
 
I just got another AE-9 the other day. The meaningful differences is like the AE-7, it doesn't need the six pin molex which draws 80 watts from your power supply for the amp in the audio control module like the AE-9. The DAC chip is a good one, the low power version of the 9039Pro which I have in my Loxjie D40Pro. Well implemented it'll sound terrific with a filter with no pre ringing. The don't give power specs at Creative, but if it's the same as the AE-7 I've had a few times, the Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm are well powered if it's got 2.5volts or better. The noise those cards pick up while gaming in a powerful system full tilt is the only problem. Real quiet would be a Fosi Audio DS3 with a JDS Synapse Max, which work really well together for a completely silent noise floor to hear footsteps.Even with noisy USB ports, you'll hear a pin drop from 30 yards in game with good IEMs or headphones. I've used RCA outs on the AE-9, and the ones on that are going to be noisy when the video card is under load.
 
Creative has them in stocks US site I'm worried about early adapter woes I'll wait for Reviews on Amazon.
