New Soundcard? If so...

[fraseyboy]

I've never liked my Audigy Gamer. Ever since I read that it wasn't REALLY 24-bit and found out what DTS was (and that it doest have it onboard) I have been itching to get a new one (and the crappy driver issues). Now I've got some money left so I think I may as well!! But which?

I was thinking along the lines of an Audigy 2 ZS. I would have an X-Fi Xtreme Music, but it doesn't have a joystick port which I need so that I can get a MIDI cable and connect my Keyboard. I know that there is a MIDI port on the Platinum version of these soundcards, but they are too pricey for me.

So the question is: Should I get the Audigy 2 ZS?

USB/MIDI converters are expensive...

And most USB Gameport convertors dont support MIDI Devices...
