what is the best sound card for 5.1 A4 Tech 5.1 theater surround sound? - Vergel P

Best Answer: Even though you're looking for a card to match your A4 Tech surround sound loudspeaker system I highly recommend that you consider purchasing a 7.1 card and simply use the audio outputs that you need. Auzentech's C-Media CMI-8788 equipped X-Meridian 7.1 soundcard is very popular as are Creative's X-Fi™ soundcards. Auzentech's new Auzen X-Fi™ Prelude 7.1 soundcard is one of the first third-party soundcards to be built using Creative's X-Fi™ chipset. The ASUS Xonar D2/PM comes equipped with high performance Burr Brown DACs, which—like the Wolfson WM8740 DACs on the Onkyo card below—have long been popular within the audiophile community. While far from inexpensive the Onkyo SE-200PCI Audio Board looks like a very high performance audio card and may be well worth its price. The HT Omega cards are loaded with the latest premium parts, look to be very well built and should be worth your consideration. Lastly, M-AUDIO has a well earned reputation for producing high quality, high performance audio cards. You're likely to be pleased with any of the cards listed below. ________________________ ASUSTeK Xonar D2/PM Ultra Fidelity 7.1 PCI Sound Card http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=25&l2=144 Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 (C-Media CMI-8788) PCI Soundcard http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/x-meridian.php Bgears b-Enspirer Soundcard http://www.bgears.com/b-enspire.html HT Omega Claro http://www.htomega.com/claro.html HT Omega Claro plus + http://www.htomega.com/claroplus.html HT Omega Striker7.1 http://www.htomega.com/striker.html Sondigo Inferno PCI Sound Card http://www.sondigo.com/inferno Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi - Xtreme Fidelity Audio Solutions http://www.creative.com/products/welcome.asp?category=209 Onkyo SE-200PCI PCI Digital Audio Board http://www2.jp.onkyo.com/what/news.nsf/view/se200pci http://www.onkyo.jp/wavio/se_200pci/index.htm Onkyo WAVIO PCI Digital Audio Boards http://onkyo.jp/wavio/product/index.htm M-AUDIO PCI Interfaces (Revolution 7.1 or 5.1) http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=products.list&ID=pciinterfaces RME (Distributed by Synthax Audio AG) http://www.rme-audio.com - or - http://www.rme-audio.de/en_index.php RME Hammerfall DSP 9632 http://www.rme-audio.com/english/hdsp/hdsp9632.htm - or - http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdsp_9632.php E-MU Systems - Digital Audio Systems http://www.emu.com/products/welcome.asp?category=505   -
