Nope only the prelude can beat any creative on the market but if u mod a elite pro it will be better than prelude.......Elite pro is different from the other X-Fi's cause it uses a different architecture.Yes Xonar will beat a top end creative card unless u mod it......

In SL uts very hard to find a decent sound card for a good prise....If u can get Xtreme music get it since it has all the features of X-Fi except for the ram part..it has around 3 or 4mb Xram...If u cant find X-Fi get a bulk Audigy 2 ZS...u can find em very cheap...its a very good card....good performance for the buck...n DO NOT buy Audigy SE or Xtreme Audio ...they suck cause they dont have a actual chip(X-Fi/Audigy) in it...they are just advance onboard audio which loads the processing on your CPU.....n u wont find theater experience cause they wont support DD n DTS.....my advice get a Audigy 2 ZS or a Audigy 4(Non Pro) or Xtreme music(Best) if u can find 1....

As for the speakers try m5300...u get decent sound with it.......

what about SPDIF outs...
If you have a good receiver..
no need of having a good sound card...

Yes a kick ass receiver will own any sound card bt they will cost 4 or 5 times more.....

Who told to buy a 500$ card? its stupid.... if u get a Auzentech Prelude which is about 200$ n have a logitech Z5500(330$) speaker system u will find very little difference between your 600$ amp n 600$ speakers......this is regarding movie playback,games n music....Not Audio creation.....

hmm...
i know that z5500...
its a THX certified one nee..
one of my friends got it..
thing is when your playing 24bit..
audios the satellites give some irritated sound...
did you noticed that..?
BTW he's using a Optical connection to speakers...

 

[chanster]

whats is the sound card he's using?

hehe that explains... well the thing is onboard sound maintains SNR of 85 or 95...SNR=Signal to Noise ratrio..the irritating sound you are hearing is the Noise...where if u take a dedicated sound card ex=X-Fi Xtreme music which maintains a SNR of 109 that is very less "noise" compared to the onboard.... So if your friend can afford a Z5500 he sure can afford a good sound card.....otherwise hooking up a Z5500 to onboard audio is a complete waste.....ull get DD n DTS cause Z5500 has built in decoders...thats the only thing ull get n thats because of the speakers....I suggest your friend gets a dedicated Audio card......
