The "TurtleBeach Santa Cruz" and the "Videologic Sonic Fury" are exactly the same card.

Snufkin · 4th February 2004, 1:36 PM

the TBSC/Sonicfury are a legacy card now, you'll have a very hard time (snowflake's chance in hell) finding anywhere that has one in stock.

Having said that, the going price on the OEM cards last time I saw them around (over a year ago) was around $150.

Odin2k3 · 4th February 2004, 1:58 PM

ahh ok

can anyone recommend a card around 100-150 that is able to do digital out to an amp with 5.1

or can i just use a headphone jack -> rca from the line out on any 5.1 card to say the dvd input on a 5.1 amp and get the 5.1 sound?

The Good Guys at Kotara of NSW have 2 boxed SonicFury's for sale in a cheapy old stock box for $99 each.

woo! gogogo

Hey Snufkin do you have any idea how the SonicFury compares to the Videologic SonicXplosion ?

I'm just curious because i have the SonicXplosion now and wonder if the SonicFury is any better / worse.

Snufkin · 4th February 2004, 5:13 PM

The Sonicfury doesn't have optical I/O and the jacks on the card are slightly different.

I prefer the Sonicfury because the control panel for the card is cleaner than the SX card, otherwise there's very little difference

This is a CS4630 card?

You might want to look at the status of continuing driver support.

i didnt know that the sonic fury and the tb were so outdated!

is it better to say get a card with optical out and get an amp with optical in so i have the ability to use a home cinema through the putie?

Snufkin · 5th February 2004, 12:56 PM

You can just use the coax SPDIF instead

Turtle Beach upgraded their drivers not too long ago, but I doubt there will be any windows 2003 support - although XP drivers should work in theory.

The bottom line is the TBSC is a great card! Even though it's getting a little old now

tb got spdif?
