I would like to add a sound card to my existing setup, can any one suggest me a sound card costing around 1200 - 3000. My only is use is to listen music.
Do you have PC speakers or an amp + speakers? Choose any card with a digital output, not much difference between cards in the price range you have mentioned.
If you really want great audio then Asus Xonar STX costing around 8.5-9K.
I agree to wat suprateep has said. I do own a 2496 card and use the analogue out. I sourced it from SP Road in Bangalore for ~ 6k. Let me know if you want more details.Alternately see if you can source the m-audio delta 2496 card - complete VFM and a great card.
I have NORGE-1000 connected to PC and speakers are Wharfadele Diamond 9.1.
These amp does not have digital in and I have only PCI slot as my PCI x1 can not be used as it is blocked by NVIDIA card's fan on PCI x16.

Prashant, can you give me more details on that card, can i use it in PCI slot? Where i can buy the same, Is there any way i can buy it online?
The guy who handles this shop RAJ, is a very courteous person and you could just try calling him on the above number to get a ballpark figure on today's price. I have purchased a few stuff from Golchha, service is quite good. I took this piece approx a year ago, and got a custom stereo RCA cable to go with this since my comp is far from my AVR/Stereo.. ~ 5 meter cable.
Let me know if there is something i missed to tell you.
I spoken to raj he quoted me 7000 + Tax :sad:
online price too is around 7k.
Can i know the online store or a store in bangalore where i can buy Xonar D1 and what could be the approx price?
Your suggestions are welcome to make optimum configuration of the card.
Thanks to all of you for your valuable help. Today i received my Audiophile 2496 card from Golchha computers. I did basic configuration in my vista machine by downloading drivers from m-audio website.
I found all driver CD and software provide along with card is obsolete and useless in Vista.
