A GREAT SOUNDCARD HUNT

[PCWORM]

WELL THIS IS MY FIRST TOPIC AFTER REGISTERING WITH DIGIT FORUM.......
I HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED AN AMD PLATFORMED PC, BUT NOW I AM IN SEARCH OF A GREAT AUDIO CARD TO COMPLETE MY HOME THEATER SETUP......
I WANTED TO KNOW WHICH SOUNDCARD WILL OFFER GREAT CLARITY AND SUPPORT ALL THE SPANKING NEW
TECHNOLOGIES OF HOME THEATER SETUPS......WELL, PRICE IS NOT THE BAR....
THANK YOU

Look for sound blaster X-Fi extreme music, thats the cheapest card in XFi series but it has all the same feature & power of the high end X-Fi cards, except for the live Drive which u will hardly need ever

other options are Creative Audigy 4 ZS or Audigy 2 Value

with price barred and u want a home theatre setup then get X-Fi elite pro.

Try sticking in a high end home theatre system into onboard sound and see the results....

Good soundcards have features like high SNR value, 24 bit audio, DD and DTS decoding, among others. I find a noticable difference in my logitech z5500 speakers (using 915 onboard audio against creative Live! 5.1 AGAINST CREATIVE AUDIGY 2 ZS)

@ pcworm: The X-Fi series will give you best performance if price is no bar. But the Audigy 2/4 also makes for a very good soundcard.

and believe me it gives me whatever i want.. 6 K for that card is good enought.. it has all features.
