Creative si M-Audio "killer" - daca nu va pasa prea mult de AdvancedEAX in jocuri sau OpenAL si daca dispuneti de 190$:

Hm, sună interesant DAC-urile şi ADC-urile  , probabil sînt mai bune decît variantele din DMX6 Fire LT-ul meu. Tu ţi-ai luat aşa ceva?

Personal nu ascult muzica la PC (nu vad rostul acestei actiuni in afara de vestita logica "nu am bani de boxe si receiver asa ca hai sa ii ingrop in placa de sunet"), si nici nu am PC-ul centrul home-theatre. Deci actualul Creative imi este suficient. Dar pentru restul "poporului" cred ca este o alternativa superba - are partea analogica top-of-the-line, dar are si codare DTS on-the-fly pentru cine nu are receivere digitale cu intrare analogica surround (cele mai ieftine).
