Omega is a company which is based in California and has been in the business of making sound cards and other computer parts for years. They were also one of the first card companies to bring out a quality sound card that offered 24-bit sound performance. The Omega company tends to get outstanding reviews for their products but primarily is a real hit for their customer service. The company makes outstanding quality sound cards, however this sound card is not the top products in this price range.
The HT OMEGA Claro Plus has one quite serious flaw, that being that the range is only about 15Hz to 40HZ and most top range sound cards tend to not go under the twenty range. The HT Omega Claro offers an outstanding sound the lows aren’t as low and the highs aren’t quite as high, meaning that the rich full tones that you want for your home theater probably aren’t going to be in this beauty, although the price is certainly right and the sound is relatively good.
HT Omega Claro Plus
The human ear can hear down to the 10hz and up to the 42hz range, which means that your sound card is not going to go down as low as you can, or up as high as your ear can. The richness isn’t going to be as on the money as it will be with a card that gives you those figures. That being said, the Claro still performs well and has a remarkable SNR or signal to noise ratio and has some decently low levels of distortion on the car so the audio is going to be fairly crisp and clean for you. Much like the Asus Duo, the Claro can handle literally anything.
In addition to this, the sample rates are outstanding at a 192 Khz and the HT Omega takes full marks for the wide and diverse array of IO ports that you’re going to find. It has in fact, many more than nearly any other card that we’ve seen. The headphone ports are there, the microphone ports, the card also offers you an outstanding four different 3.5 ports for use in connection of your surround sound, something none of us can live without these days.
It also offers you a combination port to connect up coax or optical cable and a way to connect your AV receiver when you’re ready to do so, which means that you’re going to have all that you need to connect to virtually anything and not have to add any extras.
An added bonus, the card is a PCI, which means that it’s a little less trouble to work with in many cases for those who are going to be using other connections through PCIe. While it may not have all the little extras that you’re finding in the Asus or other top range sound cards, for the price that you’re paying you are getting a top notch, long lasting quality sound card for a very good price.
