1. Quality of sound
2. Being able to fit
3. Compatability with the RE-II and Win 7
I am looking for the best, not the cheapest.

I am looking at the ASUS Xonar series, anyone have any experience with them?
I own a Xonar DX with the Rampage Extreme 2 plus 2 Bose loudspeakers and a Technics amplifier. The sound quality is far better than the sound card provided with the Rampage, especially on music and games.
