No love for Razer Barracuda?

I've gone through here quite a bit and there are almost no threads even considering the Razer Barracuda sound card?

I'm just wonder why?

I own it and it is an amazing sound card.

Was better than my X-Fi, and also cheaper than the Xonar so I got performance
which was simply amazing.

Is it the green on it? Do people not like the fact that Razer is on the side and is lit by some green LEDs?

Or is it something silly, like " X-Fi is the best! Don't get anything else!"
or "Asus make the best cards, nothing beats them screw the others!" mentality?

I had an X-Fi gamer and I prefer the razer, it's also not that big, its about the same size as the Fatality one, well actually smaller.

Also smaller than the Asus Xonar.

I run my Razer on Vista 64 and I have very good surround sound.

All the FEAR games, Guild Wars, Neverwinter Nights 2 and Source Games all have 5.1 surround sound for me.

There are more games on that list that I have played, but I don't have installed or near me to check if they do support real 5.1.

But most Direct Sound games I have played using my Razer do have good 5.1 support.
