You're still restricted to 48KHz. Be sure that won't annoy you
before buying an Audigy.

The Audigy may be suitable for your needs, and includes a lot of
features useful to the general user and gamer. For musicians,
it's off the bottom of the scale. What 's your intended use?

Have you tried an Audigy with the project kx drivers ? Very powerful!
The interface can be difficult but that kinda comes with the power

For a start it improves overall THD etc by reversing front and rear
outputs. ATM I'm experimenting with bi-amping by sending low
frequencies
of
a stereo source to the 'front' output and high to the 'back', with
interesting results.

I've been quite impressed overall. I don't much care for interface
skinning and would rather have somthing more standard - on a high-res
those little controls are so difficult to drag!

Can't fault it on features though. As I think I mentioned I'm now running
audio on a sb live without any crossover other than the Frequency
Splitter DSP.

It certainly sounds different, and to my ear better, although I really
couldn't say if it is more acurate.

Based on your question of the distortion, you want to make music with it...
Go for the M-audio Audiophile 24/96, highly spec'd and even cheaper than the
audigy.
Check on-line reviews for it or www.m-audio.com
