Recommend me a sound card, stereo only.

Hi all,

Got a Audigy2zs card running into an amp and speakers and am looking to upgrade the soundcard, Music only so don't need 5.1 sound, games effects etc... just stereo sound,
also would like the option of adding a dac via optical at a later date, budget £100ish, maybe more if worth it.

Many thanks.

I have gone for the 192 - it should be arriving Monday or Tuesday.

Since you are thinking of adding a DAC later on, it doesn't matter all that much whether you go EMU or M-Audio.

Are you connecting this up to an amp, and how are you doing it?

Edit same question for the Emu?

No, as I have powered speakers - el cheapos (£50).

Also, I have bought an external DAC which I am burning in, and will probably connect it to the 192 to see if there is any improvement
