Page 10 - Onboard Sound Frequency Analysis
ASUS promises excellent audio performance with the ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi motherboard. This comes with a dedicated audio zone electrically separated and physically shielded from the rest of the components to reduce electrical noise. This performance model uses a Realtek ALC1220P 7.1 32-bit/192 kHz audio codec. Further sound quality optimizations include a de-pop circuit, audio-grade capacitors, and audio shielding. To see how it performs, we fired up RightMark Audio Analyzer, and here is the full report.
