Introducing the EVGA NU Audio PCIe Card, the definitive standard for Premium PC Audio. High-quality audio is built on a simple premise: everything must be solid from start to finish. One weak link in the chain can turn a symphony into a cacophony. With this in mind, EVGA partnered with Audio Note (UK) to select audiophile-grade components and carefully craft the NU Audio card. Starting with the XMOS xCORE-200 chipset, we added a Premium AKM DAC capable of up to 123dB DNR/SNR. Powered by ultralow-noise Texas Instruments power regulators, WIMA and specialized Audio Note capacitors, your audio remains noise- and distortion-free as it passes through to your choice of speakers or headphones. Even the smallest details were not left to chance, as the NU Audio card features switchable OP-Amps, copper shielding, a passive heatsink, and 10-mode RGB lighting controlled through the EVGA NU Audio Software. Bring your Next-Gen system to the next generation of Premium PC Audio: EVGA NU Audio.
