Again - a very yummy card~! |
Ever heard of Audigy sound cards? :)
They make internal that arnt just a tiny card slot ;)

But since i dont know crap about all the different types of sound i
dont know how audigy compares to the rest. I know that my Audigy 2
sound card sounds plenty fine for games, music, and dvds at 5.1 and
6.1 |
Actually - yes - I have heard of them...
But all their better hardware is external. Their 100% internal stuff is at best mid-range. (Given what's available now.)
But to be honest, for serious sound, I would never buy anything from
Creative. They just don't have the support that some other
manufacturers have.
That being said, I have an Audigy NX because it's "good enough" for
what I need most of the time. i.e. 24/96 stereo. But then that's
because it was the only thing inside of the price range that I was
willing to pay at the time I bought it that was available here. (South
Korea can be pretty pathetic at times when it come to selection...
)
For a higher end system, EMU, EgoSys, and Oxygen make some very good
hardware. Creative are a bit over priced. They really need to include
more comprehensive drivers.
BUT... And this is the thing... Tom and I are both musicians. I think I
can safely speak for both of us and say that sound quality is
IMPORTANT.
However, I'm quite sure... No, actually, on second thought, I
KNOW that neither Tom nor I can afford the kind of audio systems that we'd like to have...
I'm still a ways away from getting my dream audio system... I want to
get an AAC technology patent license first for my users and that is NOT
cheap.
