[QUOTE="Sy[N]tH, post: 77618, member: 22500"] Alright guys, I finally connected my HTPC to a 5.1 DD/DTS Pioneer receiver, and noticed some crackling and average sound quality from my onboard chipset (Radeon Xpress 200)... This led me to the following conclusion: I want a soundcard, that fits my budget. I will play the odd game here and there, but it's mostly for music and movies. Music being lossless formats and high bitrate mp3s (and original CDs), and movies, well, you get the picture (DD,DTS). My choices: - Auzentech XMystique DDL 7.1, pricematched @ CAD 85.00$ - M-Audio Revolution 5.1 @ CAD 95.00$ - Audigy MusicExtreme @ pricematched CAD 85.00$ I was going for the Auzentech, because of the digital I/O (especially the optical, supported by my receiver), and feel very strongly about that card... I just need somewhat of a seal of approval, or not, by you guys. Cheers ! [/QUOTE]
