welcome to my unboxing and first look at the zonard DG and really the relevance

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:19.560
of this product to me is mostly to do with my obsession about headphone amp

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

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

00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:32.360
lowend by any stretch of the imagination but it's not like expensive either and

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

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:41.920
even begin to imagine what that would be useful for um I mean what are you

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:46.520
installing this in that you need like an amped headphone out cuz I was thinking

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:49.719
media PC but then I was like well when would you ever plug headphones into a

00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:56.559
media PC I don't know either way I love it

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:58.800
because it has a headphone app okay it's

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:06.360
got Dolby headphone for realistic 5.1 surround so has virtual round it's also

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:08.680
got gx2.5 which gx2.5 allows up to 128

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:13.840
simultaneous effects for a realistic 3D experience and if you don't have it then

00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:16.439
you game with 3D video but only lame bulky

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.200
audio all right moving right along what else we got Jack sensing

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

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.439
won't cause a problem although I don't recommend usually plugging things into

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:38.200
the wrong thing in the dark because that can cause problems we've also got output

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.200
signal ratio of 105 DB for 5.1 Channel

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

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.920
uses a c media chipset okay cool let's have a look at

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

00:01:51.360 --> 00:02:00.280
guides amazing uh

00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:02.320
why English not English okay hold on

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:08.280
this this must be a packaging error there's no way oh no look at this

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:10.080
they're both no way they're both English

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:16.200
but they both have a bunch of other different

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:18.760
languages um I guess this was better

00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:24.400
than doing one thick book somehow uh okay low profile bracket

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

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:33.160
usual assortment of colorcoded jacks that are compatible with 5.1 out as well

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

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.959
you're outputting to digital uh receiver

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:46.800
or digital speakers or whatever the case may be there's your cdia chipset right

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.440
there there's your PCI interface there's

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

00:02:51.239 --> 00:02:56.519
pretty much it I mean it's straightforward the whole point is its

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

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

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:11.360
want to get something really expensive thank you for watching Line Tech tips
