The NU Audio Pro Cards change the game once again. The pursuit of audio perfection on a PC takes another step forward with the introduction of a 7.1 Surround solution by EVGA and Audio Note. We took the solid foundation of the NU Audio Card, improved the component selections throughout, and matched it to a secondary card to provide surround support.
The result is an experience where critical listening sessions can yield to enjoyment, and where thinking will surrender to feeling.
Nothing keeps you in the moment better than when you're surrounded on all sides with a symphony, an action-packed movie, or a tension-filled battle in your favorite game. Coupled with the low noise floor and clean audio signature, the NU Audio Pro is engineered from the ground up to ensure consistent and accurate positioning without the need for excessive customization.
Combining the Pro and Pro Surround cards, the Pro 7.1 delivers an aural overload of 7.1 analog surround to deliver the most immersive audio experience available for the PC. Design your audio experience the way you want to discover Lifelike Audio and Gaming with no limitations and no regrets.
The stereo-based card (+ 5.1 optical out) is upgraded from the original NU Audio Card with improved component selection and a mini-DisplayPort connector to connect to the NU Audio Pro Surround card.

The art of audio is about combining a lot of little details and fusing them together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. Careful testing and fine-tuning gives the NU Audio Pro a more refined look and audio signature than its predecessor.
The Seiryu capacitors, exclusive to the EVGA NU Audio Pro cards, are the progeny of Audio Note's KAISEI Electrolytic Capacitor lineage. Made using a slightly modified production process, these capacitors were designed from the ground up to improve the audio at every frequency:
The NU Audio Pro card also features AVX F95 audio tantalum capacitors to lower distortion, create a darker background, yet still give a dense lush feeling to the audio. The NP0 ceramic capacitors were replaced with Panasonic PPS types, to give a sweeter more natural treble. Combined, this gives an increased sense of air to wide-bandwidth recordings.
Headphone lovers have not been forgotten. The NU Audio Pro Card features an LT1469 op-amp for the headphone out, which provides a lusher and more high quality sound to the audio, bringing out great dynamics and sound-staging without the edginess or rough sounding qualities of other op-amps.
The NU Audio Pro features a new take on RGB by offering three different RGB lighting zones on the side of the card. Each zone can be linked to the other two, while the two bars can be configured for audio reactive lighting to change dynamically with your audio playback.
