ASUS Xonar ae 7.1 vs Asus SOAR 7.1

[Griff7520]

Hi

any opinions on which of these to buy, Currently using a soundblaster x AE5 but fed up of it working for a few days and then it stops working, apparently due to w10 not letting it run properly and driver isssues

will be buying this afternoon all being well...on a side note any other suggestions what to buy...my head set is bayerdynamic mmx 300

thanks

well I thought I would wait for answers before I bought anything so have not spent any money yet....I am using onboard at the minute but considering it is supposed to be a high quality onboard it is not good...but then again I think it is windows problems again...i dont even have an drive console to make settings...it just installs the drivers...you spend good money on kit but it wont work properly on w10.

this x3...is it similar sort of thing to a creative Sound Blaster Omni and are you saying its ok to use this type of creative sound card, I ask because i was thinking of going asus so as not to use creative drivers
