Folks
I have an option to pick up a 6 month old Auzentech X-Fi Prelude card for my desktop for 6.5K. This would be replacing my onboard Realtek sound card. My main application will be 2.0 channel listening for now and maybe 2.1 down the road.
Genres are jazz, classical, classic rock, and some pop through an m-audio AV30 speaker set or I could set up a pair of Audio Engine 5 set. I may use an AKG 501 headphone with this but I dont expect wonders obviously.
Questions : Would the Auzen be a decent fit for my application? How does it compare with Emu 0404 or 1212m or the Xonar Essence?
Thx for your responses
