Audigy 2 ZS to an X-Fi?

[DaveOwl]

I've just purchased and received some Razer HP-1 5.1 headphones after my Medusa's ended up with one side dangling down by a thread (dog sat on it? )

Anyway, I was wondering if I would notice much difference between an Audigy 2 ZS and an X-Fi. I've used a Creative/Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 speaker system for a long time with both the ZS and the Live and found them to be decent. If I'm missing out though to some degree I would like to know

I hate the ZS, I owned all the cards apart from the BS Audigy1 and the ZS was by far the buggiest POS till I used modded drivers and APP's.

I have never had any real issues with both my X-Fi range cards.

There are always issues with creative cards!

Anyhows, back to the question -

I did just that and noticed a fair improvement, espessially in music, and even moreso with a decent set of cans.
