And if you care about sound quality, a music streamer – or network audio player – is a must-have in your audio system. Whether you have meticulously curated hard drives full of hi-res downloads and CD ...

Punchy bass, crystal-clear transients, and neutral mids without straying from the truthful voicing that audiophiles prefer, will also be at the core of the audio the HD 550 can give you in games.

ATTENTION: Windows 11 24H2 is experiencing a lot of bugs related to audio in general. At this time, I do not recommend this version. Only Realtek ALC Audio Chips (HDA and Intel SST) are supported.
