• BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Z77X – Realtek ALC898 W/ Hi-Fi Components
• BIOSTAR TZ77XE4 – Realtek ALC898

The BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Z77X brought it’s A-Game in our Rightmark Audio Analyzer testing today. The Hi-Fi Z77X was able to step up the overall performance to ‘Very Good’ compared to the TZ77XE4 overall performance of ‘Good’. We are glad to see that there is a measurable difference between the two boards despite using the same Realtek ALC898 High Definition Audio Codec.
