我覺得要觀望.....

Philips 原本是設計晶片，這個我們很早以前有報導過新聞（1999/11/03），然後最近才轉向出自己的音效卡。我看到的是，似乎沒有廠商對 Philips 的音效晶片有興趣，所以 Philips 乾脆自己來生產音效卡？當然我這樣的觀察不免太表面了啦.....

Creative 越玩越大，利潤應該也不錯，但是相對的其他廠商就玩得比較辛苦一點吧..... 還有幾個廠商撐得下去，值得觀察.....

規格上與 TB Santa Cruz 很像，主要差異在 3D HRTF 的來源不同。我自己是覺得 Sensaura 的比較好啦.....

如果 Philip 缺少一批強而有力的軟體工程師幫他撐驅動程式的維護，那會是很可怕的一件事情。
