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.

Where can one find these?

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?

Thanks for that - quite a thing on my Audigy Platinum, much better interface
than Creative's. Google search finds it straight away btw Kalman.

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

Audigy2 came with my latest PC. Are these drivers useful for it?

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.
