I made a HTPC in 2010. I am using the onboard realtek audio. I am looking at adding a soundcard and narrowed down to the following cards
1) ASUS Xonar D2X
2) ASUS Xonar STX
3) ASUS HDAV1.3 deluxe
I listen to music most of the time. However the rare occasion when I see a movie, I need 7.1 audio. Which of the above cards will you suggest? Where do I get them in Pune or online? Any other card apart from the above?
NOTE: I do not have any empty PCI slot available. The two existing cards are being used by a wifi card and one capture card connected to Tata Sky. Hence cannot use ESI Juli@ or ASUS Xonar ST
