My creative labs extreme music has popped its clogs. I'm thinking of either the pci-e asus xonar DX vs creative labs fatality pro. I can get the pro for 82 and one of my requirements is a front header for headphones (goldrings) with speakers at rear (edifier 1600t). Creative feels like a safe bet but loads of people seem to rate the xonars. Usage is 80% games.
