This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Excellent card for the money"

Sound: The line out quality of this is simply amazing. You have to remember the emu-0404 is NOT meant to power your sound equipment, simply to provide a high quality line out. You ought to have it running into an amp or dac for it to come near its potential. Feature: So many connection possibilities. Several great programs including patchmix. Quality: Extremely well made. Shows its quality in the sound it puts out. Value: Nothing in its price range comes close to the abilities of this card. Manufacturer Support: Well, its creative. The Wow Factor: The dongles on the back aren't sexy, but it stomps my audigy2 for music quality. Overall: You can't beat this card at this price! Remember you NEED an amp to power your speakers/headphones because the lineout will not provide enough juice!

Style of Music: Rock, Trip hop, Indie

"dont trip off those people that have no clue on how to work a sound card.very good quality!"

Sound: cristal clear.i love the quality it puts out for the price.its well worth the money.i give it a 8 because the ONLY 2 cards thats better is the emu 1212 & the emu 1820. Feature: everything you need and want in a 100 dollar sound card plus a little more. Quality: top notch and the good thing is its only 100 bucks!!! the emu 1212 is just a tad bit better and cost dubble the price.the 0404 is well worth 100. Value: well worth it. Manufacturer Support: i never need to use it but i heard it was top of the line support. The Wow Factor: well.....i got it...lol Overall: this gets a 10 for the simple FACT that it hangs with the emu 1212.if you a quality freak all the way down to the last spect of db,get the 1820m.but if your recording at home and making demos,dont wait to get the 0404.it does the job.

Style of Music: Hip Hop & R&B
