Posted October 27, 2017 I already own soundblaster zxr for my main gaming pc, and planning to get a schit stack for my other laptops. I was wondering, is getting the soundblaster ae-5 worth upgrading from zxr? I use my pc mainly for gaming, and I usually use dt 990 pro, ad700x, sen hd 598 and akg k7xx and will be gettting a sen hd6xx soon. I am a complete noob in this topic, so apologizing in advance for my noobness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 27, 2017 The ZxR is still Creative's top of the line Sound Blaster PCI-E card. So moving to the AE-5, which is newer, won't be an upgrade. Once Creative replaces the ZxR with a new card, then maybe consider upgrading. But if you have a ZxR there's no point in moving to the AE-5.
