Ma quanto costa?

Cmq io quando si tratta di PC punto sempre su Creative, secondo me lì è leader incontrastata.

Inoltre è lei che detta legge sui giochi (vedi supporto EAX, che nella X-fi è già alla rev. 5).

Inoltre ho letto questo dal tuo articolo:

* Supports the latest DTS-ES, DD-EX sound (6.1/7.1) playback (also including Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 playback) with Software Decoding Application like as PowerDVD, WinDVD

Da quanto sopra non vorrei che il supporto DTS sia solo software... gravando quindi sulla CPU. Nella X-fi è tutto hardware. E migliora anche i giochi.

Io starei su creative.

Ovviamente fa *anche* decodifica via SW, non solo via sw anche perchè non avrebbe senso. Con il vantaggio di sentire a tutti gli effetti DTS su impianti 5.1 sprovvisti di decoder dedicato, e non mi sembra poco. Inoltre il supporto al DDlive vale da solo il prezzo dell'acquisto, l'eax mi è sempre sembrata una cosa prettamente inutile
