Suggest soundcard for my LOGITECH Z5500

[surinder]

Hi guys,

I have purchased LOGITECH Z5500 couple of days ago.

My onboard REALTEK HDA is not upto the mark.

My ASUS PMKPL-VM have S/PDIF concetable pins onboard but the socket is mising and S/PDIF AUDIO MODULE cards are rear and fullishly overpriced so this option sucks (real bad stuff from ASUS as they simply could give the socket onboard even not adding a peny).

Changing motherboard now adds 4K or so includind selling two months old ASUS PMKPL-VM and will still not compete in gaming by cobinning with my speaker set to a good stand alone soundcard and I'm considering nehalem platform in three months or so as well.

So in my opnion I should have to go with a good stand alone soundcard. I personly prefer CREATIVE XI-FI XTREME GAMER. What about ASUS XONAR series and M-AUDIO one's.

So suggest me best total solution under 8K max.

Please reaply soon guys as I have make my purchase this monday.
