bonehelm said:No, the X-Fi series is built of way more advanced architecture and it consists of couple thousand times more transistors making it introduce sound in a completely different way which you've never heard before.
Its 24-bit Crystalizer makes all your music, movies, games sound crisper, brighter, cleaner and richer. Not to mention it improves gaming performance by freeing up CPU usage.
The X-Fi card series is fully certified by THX and DTS surround, which further proves its quality and renown.
Now you made me have to reconsider lol
Audigy 2 ZS is also THX and DTS... The only difference that I will notice that isn't there is the 24-bit crystalizer, but surely there's a plugin for Winamp that does a similar thing... I dunno...
