00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:14,719
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the zonard DG and really the relevance

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:19,560
of this product to me is mostly to do with my obsession about headphone amp

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,400
sound card so this is one of the better values you can get for a headphone amp

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,439
sound card because it's still um a mid-range sound card so it's not super

5
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:32,360
lowend by any stretch of the imagination but it's not like expensive either and

6
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,920
there might have been something supposed to be in there oh cool it comes with a low profile bracket although I can't

7
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:41,920
even begin to imagine what that would be useful for um I mean what are you

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,520
installing this in that you need like an amped headphone out cuz I was thinking

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:49,719
media PC but then I was like well when would you ever plug headphones into a

10
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:56,559
media PC I don't know either way I love it

11
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,800
because it has a headphone app okay it's

12
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:06,360
got Dolby headphone for realistic 5.1 surround so has virtual round it's also

13
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,680
got gx2.5 which gx2.5 allows up to 128

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:13,840
simultaneous effects for a realistic 3D experience and if you don't have it then

15
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:16,439
you game with 3D video but only lame bulky

16
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,200
audio all right moving right along what else we got Jack sensing

17
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:29,520
front panels that's handy so even if you accidentally plug them into the wrong thing in the dark then you know um that

18
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,439
won't cause a problem although I don't recommend usually plugging things into

19
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:38,200
the wrong thing in the dark because that can cause problems we've also got output

20
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:40,200
signal ratio of 105 DB for 5.1 Channel

21
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:45,040
okay input okay so there's a bunch of specs and whatnot it's a PCI sound card

22
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,920
uses a c media chipset okay cool let's have a look at

23
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:54,680
the sound card itself so it comes with drivers ignore those download the latest it comes with two quick start

24
00:01:51,360 --> 00:02:00,280
guides amazing uh

25
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:02,320
why English not English okay hold on

26
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:08,280
this this must be a packaging error there's no way oh no look at this

27
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,080
they're both no way they're both English

28
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:16,200
but they both have a bunch of other different

29
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:18,760
languages um I guess this was better

30
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:24,400
than doing one thick book somehow uh okay low profile bracket

31
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,879
extra screws and let's have a look at the sound card itself so you find the

32
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:33,160
usual assortment of colorcoded jacks that are compatible with 5.1 out as well

33
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:38,319
as a microphone in you've also got an optical audio out so you can use that if

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,959
you're outputting to digital uh receiver

35
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:46,800
or digital speakers or whatever the case may be there's your cdia chipset right

36
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:48,440
there there's your PCI interface there's

37
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,280
your front panel audio as well as your auxiliary in and spit if out and that's

38
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:56,519
pretty much it I mean it's straightforward the whole point is its

39
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:00,080
good value it's got an apt headphone output and that's pretty much all I need

40
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:05,640
to know about it to know that that you should probably get one if you don't have a sound card at all and you don't

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:11,360
