Looking to upgrade my Creative GigaWorks T40's, whilst these are great speakers there lacking a bit on the bass which is to be expected as they have no sub.
Not really looked at the PC market for a while, looking for a 2.1 set, no real room for 5.1's.
Last I looked the Razer Makos looked the top of the pile but it seems these are now end of life?
Also had a look at the Asus Xonar range of cards but got confused, From what I can tell the Xonar Essence ST is the king atm, Couldn't tell what the difference between that and the STX was other than the ST can accept the daughter board which enabled 5.1 output?
It does seem to be marketed at the high end audio market than gamers, does it loose any gaming related functionality or is it just that its a step up and they think Gamers wont be interested?
Thanks in advance.
