dam bought the wrong one i was in a hurry to get the card out tonight for delivery tommorow didnt think anyone would post lol
got this one instead hope i did not make a mistake : Asus ROG Xonar Phoebus 7.1 PCI-E Soundcard £185
For pure sound quality i was always under the impression that M-Audio were the go to manufacturer.

Tbh, unless you use headphones, you probably won't tell the difference. It uses the same DAC also. Shame you don't have the ability to switch OPAMPs
Just hope the DAC is good on the card as im hopeing cause its way newer it will be better than my azuntech prelude 7.1 dac that came with it...
