I'm using the EMU-0404 on my HTPC for solely music listening and it sounded pretty good, but on my gaming box I'm still using the old SB Live 5.1 with KX Project drivers, SQ can't really match the EMU but doable. Well...since I heard lots of praise about the X-Fi I'm wondering if it's just a hype? so sound quality wise how good does the X-fi sound compare to the EMU 0404? I'll be using it on my gaming box to replace the old SB.


Computers are hooked up to my main stereo:
Harman Kardon HK 3480 receiver
Axiom M22ti mid tower
SVS sub
