Auzentech vs. Creative vs. EMU

[sdkevin]

I'm looking at these 3 cards: Auzen X-Meridian, Elite Pro, and EMU 1820. If anyone have experience with these cards please provide your opinions, I'm not into playing games much so mainly music and movies. I know Elite Pro does not provide 5.1 configuration thru Coaxial/Optic, I'm not sure about Auzen X-Meridian and EMU 1820, anyway I'm looking for better sound quality on these cards, thank you if you can give me some opinions!

I think it mainly depends on what kind of speaker you own, but elite pro can drive most PC speakers.

Go with the XMeridian, it is hard to beat for your intended uses.

The X-Meridian would be perfect for you. Grab a set of LM4562 opamps or OPA2227's are your set.
