This is creatives high end soundcard @ $300, replaceable opamps, ditches the on chip analog converter or DAC for an external DAC. Using the ESS sabre 32 bit analog converter, a step up to the AE5s ES9016 Dac. Some lighting features but no more RGB. Will ship with some opamps.
Xamp to amp each stereo channel for headphones also, 6 pin pcie power connector for 75 watts of power to make the power cleaner and run the external break out box. Phantom power for high end microphones.
Unknown if it supports creative 'super xfi', the creative guy seems to smile and give no reply to it.

Creative guy did say its releasing end of december, but guess its due out any week now, maybe ocuk can confirm availability for us?
