    Creative X-Fi Vs. Auzentech X-Fi? Which is better and why?

    I've got a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, and was wondering if the Auzentech are any better at all?
    I don't do any recording at all, just PC gaming and listening to music.

    For Gaming stick with what you have.

    For that we should thank BOTH (AMD and Intel) companies!

    No reason to upgrade, it would be waste of money. Just make sure you are using Daniel_K drivers.

    You can always use YouP-PAX drivers as well.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    Auzentech. No question. Much better drivers, and you actually get driver updates. Unlike with creative. I wish creative would just die. Hopefully Asus with their Xonar and Auzentech can make that happen.

    I certainly hope not, they make some of the best damn portable audio players out there. Zen >> iPod. If only more iGeeks would take notice they would have bought better players for less money and not fed the beast that is Apple.
