LoL... the question is who would seriously pay that money for a sound card. I mean honestly, come on.

If you have to ask, you wouldn't even understand all the techincal jargon that goes along with the explanation.
 
sounds like it's for professional use. but even for personal use by audiophiles, that kind of price is not really unheard of.

Uh, someone who professionally works with music and sound recording? That's like asking who would pay $5 grand for a camera.
 
Yeah, I sort of have a feeling that the professional description in the title, means it for professional use and not meant to be put in a rig for gaming and music listening.
 
looks like it has built-in dsp effects (e.g. reverb). if they're quality effects, it isn't that unheard of. a quality rackmount unit for one effect could cost a couple thousand easily.
 
You can run three in parallel to. The 48/96 channel mixer w/ external sources is prob what's making it cost so much. Essentially it's the internals of a sound board slapped onto a PCI bus
 
A Creative Labs X-Fi is more than enough for me, would probably make a bitchin recording setup if I ever decided to record one of the MANY song parodies I've written on long, boring busrides.
 
Holy crap, that thing's huge. Take a look at this, that's a PCI slot at its base, and I think it may very well be bigger than any enthusiast video card out there.

I guess I'm an Idiot, as my soundcard was nearly $1000.

I've also paid $3000 for a pair of microphones. stupid me. I should have just bought one from radio shack.
 
I've writen drivers for $10,000 "sound" cards. Well they were for a military system, but we used them as sound cards to run a set of tests 🙂

Who would buy a sound card from a company called creamware. :|

It's a good marketing technique. Their hardware is so good, you cream yourself after using it for the first time.

Saying what you linked to is a sound card is like saying a sound board is an amp. It's a level above, both in quality and functionality.

Bah that's just an optical effect achieved by the use of an UWA lens.
