[QUOTE="///M5, post: 1275021, member: 562975"] If you only want 2 chn's get an E-MU 0404 or if you have the cash an E-MU 1212. The Audigy is crap (for music) and so is the Blaster live (again for music). THX's other recommendations are good to M-Audio Revo 5.1 (don't get the 7.1 as the 5.1 has a better analog output stage), the Audiotrak Prodigy, or if you are cheap and you can be here use the Chaintech AV-710 it is like $25 at Newegg. Beware with the Chaintech though, it only has 2 good D/A's and they are on the rear channels. Don't know why they used cheap ones elsewhere and Wolfson on the rears, but they did. Still IMO $100 for the E-MU 0404 is a great deal, $200 for the E-MU 1212 is even better and if you are cheap $25 on the Chaintech. Oh, then do yourself a favor and rip all your music again, this time Lossless using Exact Audio Copy. As a reference, the D/A on the 1212 will rival $1000 HU's [/QUOTE]
