Which Soundcard X-fi or wait for Asus Xonar?
Well i'm going to get a new sound card within the coming months, and was wondering your views on the X-Fi or should I wait for the Asus Xonar, or any others not really in the know in sound cards so i'm in for recommendations

Cheers,
James


Also, This will be used mostly for music + movies with the spot of gaming say an hour a day and im not fussed on loosing 2 fps if it's better quality music

cheap. at newegg. one of the best sound cards you can buy.

any audiophile can tell you. driver support rips a new hole in XFI garbage.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829120103
25$

do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT let the price fool you.

it uses a envy chip, if you look around. all high end sound cards are based off envy.
not creative garbage.
