Just thought I would pass along some info. It had been stated in this forum that all three soundcards in the Philips lineup use the same DSP. According to info in this review;
http://www.tweak3d.net/reviews/philips/ae/
the Acoustic Edge uses a different DSP. The AE uses the "Thunderbird Avenger" DSP while the four channel (Seismic Edge) and two channel versions use the Thunderbird 128 DSP. As a result, they use different drivers also.
Why do I bring this up? Because some people had bad experiences with the Seismic Edge and condemned the whole Philips lineup without ever actually trying the Acoustic Edge. The Acoustic Edge is a different animal and deserves it's own fair shake. Doing otherwise is like having a bad experience with the Soundblaster 128 PCI and writing off the SBlive!
And yes, I'm very happy with my Philips Acoustic Edge.
