yea agree with osxchd, x-fi extreme is a newer technology compare to other model in your list. maybe u add rm 200 or less for the fatality.

yup, n the blue moon is taiko killjim, n the bluest of moon is mysticaldodo!

dun touch X-Fi XM or any audigy..if u wan serius gaming+music in one card, X-Fi highest end, extreme platinum was it? other than, u might angkat skit get 1212m..but sum ppl dun like 1212m..like sumbody i know..if u like total transparency n flatness (read:boring, dead music) than no doubt, save up get 1212m. i prefer to class it "what those highly paid sound engineer, engineered the sound to be" tongue.gif )

So maybe the AV710 (Prod 7.1 if u haf extra..extra for brand and multi channel tat is n sum more)..or maybe the EMU0404 would suit ur taste.

hey another penang fellow biggrin.gif biggrin.gif Well I dont' think EMU cards can get easily from Penang, you need to buy online.

X Fi extreme music is good if you have balanced usage between gaming and music. Just set it to different modes biggrin.gif The recording mode, can set it to rather close audio quality to EMU0404. And I think the price has dropped a lot tongue.gif

Wah, don't need to try and break his bank in one shot =P the highest end x-fi does use the same DAC as the 1212m though.

pssssst if you don't like your emu sell it to me err him on the cheap =D

hoh, it's good alright.

And I mean GOOD. Now the rig i bought from RLHH only connected to my sony hifi, simply simply just use the "Left" output only to connect to both speakers.
Even that it's sounding like, amazing.

Albeit cacat lar, mono->stereo something lidat.

EMU0404 all the way bebeh!!
well till I can save USD800 for a Lynx that is...
