Auzentech Meridian not being sold no more?

[Pkiely]

I miss something? This card was on my longterm goal to buy for it's #1 spot in sound quality Not seeing it sold anymore here :s

Its no longer in production due to the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 replacing it.

Ah man too bad, but I thought it was meant to still be better than the Prelude because it was using a c-media chip etc instead of the Preludes equivalent to Creatives X-FI chip, when I say better I mean sound quality. I know that prelude is great for using EAX5 etc, improving performances in games also, just I never cared about that.
