## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great card, great customer support
*by M***A on November 19, 2012*

Short version: This is the best sound card for a computer I've owned. Highly recommended for stereo output.Long version.I've owned and used quite a few sound cards and dedicated DACs, in gaming, enjoying music and professional audio applications. This includes the original 8-bit Sound Blaster, the newer ASUS Xonar, AudioQuest Dragonfly, Focusrite Saffire and many others.With the HT Omega Claro II I have not tried any speaker configuration other than stereo, and I have not tried recording through mic or line-in. So basically, 2 channel output for enjoyment of music, games and movies. That is what my review is based on.From the sound card it is hooked up to a Musical Fidelity A5 integrated amp, which in turn is driving a pair of Magneplanar 1.7's and a REL T-9 subwoofer.There is not even a hint of audible noise at any volume level, and the sound is fantastic - very faithfully reproduced from FLAC encoded audio files. I performed a few blind tests between a very good CD player (Rotel RCD-855) and playing the same music through the HT Omega (FLAC, Foobar2000, kernel streaming), and could not tell a difference.Lastly, the first card I received was defective, but HT Omega support was most gracious in both their assistance to diagnose it and sending a replacement when it was obviously defective. In short, the computer could detect a sound card was connected, but drivers didn't install. The second card worked off the bat.

### ⭐ Disappointed, disaponting.......
*by Z***4 on December 31, 2016*

I dont mean to give it one star, it's just because i never got to get it to work. Guess why? Cause it's freaking needs old fashione freaking mother board pci connector to beable to plug it in. Basically the plug is opposite on the sound card. So i had to return it and pay for shiping again.(this is third time this thing happen to me on purchasing sound cards). No hard feelings, but sound card this good and with awesome software had to be using old a*s technology or plug.

### ⭐⭐ Seriously?
*by B***. on September 8, 2015*

So I don't know if this is a common issue with all motherboards, but the PCI-E x16 plug/strip on this sound card is backwards and is therefore incompatible with my Z97 mobo. 2 stars for the packaging and delivery though. Got here fast and in 1 piece as far as I could tell. Sadly never knew if it worked though, since I was unable to plug it in and unwilling to by a cord to solve it.
