Audio Maya 7.1 & Maya 7.1 Gold Sound Card ReviewExisting sound cards supporting only 5.1 channels (SB Live!, Philips Acoustic Edge PSC 706) cannot explore the full potential of DVDs allowing for more than 5.1 channels. Enter the MAYA 7.1 and MAYA 7.1 Gold sound cards, offering, as their name implies, 7.1 channels of auditory excitement to create a true desktop home theatre ("crowd cheers" - in 7.1 channels, of course).April 9th, 2002
 Audiotrack MAYA Soundcard ReviewAs the great ball of time rolls along, the price of new and cutting edge computer components slowly recedes until even the common man (read: me) can afford. This is no different for audio cards which is why there has been such a bloom in home studios over the past decade or so. Each passing year, the output quality of these studios has increased by an insane degree and the number and variety of products is enough to make me weep.February 1st, 2002

 Turtle Beach Santa Cruz ReviewThe last few months have brought with them some sweeping changes to the sound card market in the form of cards that handle 6 speaker output. Aureal and Creative battled it out during the era when quadraphonic sound was king, and though Aureal is now gone, the struggle in the sound card market continues on...February 7th, 2001
 Philips Acoustic Edge PSC 706 ReviewThe Acoustic Edge is powered by Philips own SAA7785 ThunderBird Avenger DSP chip. This audio accelerator can process 256 sounds simultaneously and actually offloads digital mixing and Directsound processing from your CPU. This becomes important when you consider that the card has some sophisticated features that would otherwise put added stress on your system.December 7th, 2000
 Guillemot Maxi Sound MUSE ReviewThe sound card market has been going through some interesting changes, the foremost of which is the introduction of new players in a market that is primarily dominated by Creative Labs. When Aureal came about with their Vortex chip, literally a dozen companies started to produce quality sound cards that became truly viable and competitive alternatives to the Sound Blaster line of cards.October 24th, 2000
