Im expecting a Shuttle SN25P system anyday now and while I have been told the audio is "good" / "fine" / "ok"; its not the keyword I am looking for. "Great".
My x1900xt will be taking up both slots (although its covering a PCI-E 1x which is of little use for now anyway) hence the need for an external sound card. The Creative SB XiFi range sound (sorry) "great" so I was wondering if anyone was aware of plans by Creative to bring to market an external version. If not, could any one recommend me some of their previous external models?
I'll be using a pair of Sennheisser RS140 head phones so good analogue (as well as digital for my 5.1 system) are a must. Should I expect a note worthy performance hit by using firewire/usb for sound?
N.B. Im happy to consider other manufacturers. Budget would be up to around £100 / $180 USD / $200 Canadian / 145 Euro's (for the benefit of non-Brits) .
Thx in advance.
