ive got the sapphire grouper with the realtek acl880 HD audio codec, and and i just bought an xfi platnum, and from a purely subjective standpoint, the acl880 is superior for music listening, and its also much easier to set up. it automatically puts my music into surround sound, where on the xf-i i need to go into settings to do that, the controller app is much less overhead too.
certainly i wont have support for the latest version of eax, but this has support for eax 2.0 and its still pretty damn good. WAy to go onboard sound
