    please excuse the scepticism but it just all sounds too good to be true etc etc!
    In my opinion, no.

    I went from a Aud2 / Aud4 with hacked drivers, and honestly, It was the single biggest waste of money that I had spent for a long time. I ended up selling the X-fi and continued to use my Aud2.

    I tried both via digital to my amp, and via analogue leads to try and justify the cost (although in reality, I use digital direct to the amp) and I just couldn't hear the improvements.
    They did sound different, don't get me wrong, but nothing that couldn't be replicated by adjusting the settings on the equaliser.

    IMHO X-Fi is a LOT better than Audigy2ZS, especially in BF2142 - the spacial seperation is far superior, everything sounds a bit clearer IMO too.
