Misleading. The Audigy 4 Pro and the Audigy 4 is not quite the same thing. The vanilla Audigy 4 has more to do with the Audigy 2 than the Audigy 4 Pro. The later has some good DAC/op-amp which makes it one of the better card for music playback.

As toolsong said, don't pay a premium for the vanilla 4.

Done let Rave see that. He will kill you

Well...I say £30, they're worth that, I was given them as part of a "favour" after a friend upgraded his very very expensive hifi and wanted some PC help

Got my XFI Xtreme Music and Listening to a selection of MP3's I can safely say it makes Onboard sound a little like listening to headphones through 2 flannels

A worthy investment me thinks.

I gotthe X-F Fatal1ty and WOW! I will never settle for onboard audio again! The 24-bit crystalizer makes mp3s sound awsome! Love it to bits with my logitech z2300 speakers both the soundcard and speakers are THX certified!

Love it 110%!
