I was just wondering if anyone tried them out or had a friend that's upgraded to either yet? If I keep my AMD build I want to upgrade my sound card.

I have a Creative Labs X-Fi Sound card and love it. I have it installed in a HTPC and I have it hooked up to my Pioneer Elite rec. via optical cable and the sound is amazing compared to On board. Also to justify the cost make sure you are using speakers that can bring its potential out. If you use crappy speakers its a waste of money.
