Audigy 4 or ZS

As per title really i feel its time i should get a sound card and move on from my onboard realtek sound. I have a 5.1 speaker setup at the minute i play a lot of games/watch movies and listen to a lot of music on my rig, i would like some second opinions on these card's ive heard pretty good thing's about them but as a sound noob i wouldnt know which one would benefit me most, even though the ZS does look mighty nice

They are absolutely identical except the Audigy4 has newer DAC's.

You may as well go for the Audugy4, as it's only £35, the ZS isn't that much cheaper.

That said, with my Logitech Z-5500 speakers, the X-Fi sound much better, and is will worth the £20 or so more.
