I'm pretty tired of my integrated sound which I've had to use since my old Soundblaster card crapped out, and want to get a new card.
I have a crappy pair of 2.1 Logitech speakers (don't even know the model number sadly, but they sound awful) and some PC140 headphones, which I primarily use.
Now while I'd love to get a hundred dollar card, I want to save some money because I'm also considering purchasing a new 500 or 750 gig hard drive. So I've found two choices, albeit there's a price difference.
M-Audio 5.1 Revolution, $60.99 -- good reviews, reputable company, 24-bit sound, 109 SNR, 192khz sample rate, DTS decoder..
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1, $27.99 -- cheap, 24-bit sound, a huge upgrade to my integrated crap..
I mainly nowadays listen to my music, but I still game a bit. Is it worth spending the extra 30 bucks to get the M-Audio or should I go frugal and get the cheaper Creative?
