When buying a sound card, components used is the most important and second the appearance, but for some consumers, appearance is their priority. Black ribbon cables would be a much better match for the all-black design of the HDX. Overall I’m really satisfied with the design and build quality of both the PowerColor Devil HDX and its daughter board, but if I were to nitpick, I wish PowerColor provided black ribbon cables for the daughter board instead of white. The EMI shield isn’t there just for looks only though, as it is also supposed to ensure the purity of the signal by blocking unwanted interference from the surrounding. The “Devil” branding right in the middle of the EMI shield is embossed, which makes it feel more premium. I really like the black PCB and the EMI shield which is also finished in a fingerprint-resistant matte black coat. The PowerColor Devil HDX comes with a very nice design and build quality is excellent.

This is a commendable move as it allows the consumer to easily do some research on what they just bought without having to take off the EMI shield.īesides the sound card itself in the box, there is also a daughter board for a larger selection of outputs, two ribbon connectors, a quick installation guide and a CD for driver installation, but I recommend you to get the latest driver from PowerColor’s official site. I love this part, as it is filled with technical specifications and it also details every component used to build the PowerColor Devil HDX. The box has an additional panel that lifts up to reveal more information about the sound card itself. Crystal clear Hi-Fi audio for better audio vocal, a built-in headphone amplifier up to 600 ohms and swappable OP-AMP which are definitely some of the best features for upgradability. The PowerColor Devil HDX’s packaging is very clean with no unnecessary graphics on the box, and I found that the box is pretty premium looking.Īt the back we have more information about the features of this sound card. My first impression of a product usually depends on the packaging and I appreciate that PowerColor has improved their packaging design and quality since the first member of the Devil series, which is the PowerColor Devil 13 HD 6970. It seems that its coverage during Computex 2015 is not that widespread. To be honest I never knew that PowerColor actually produced audio products until they approached me.
