Re: Razer Barracuda sound card, just good for gaming?

X-FI is crap compared to whats out now.

yes, m8atrix, HT Omega has a few crads out now, the Striker is the low end 8788 and retails about $70. excellent card for the price. the Clarion and Clarion+ are both high-end and retail about the same as the Razer did before it got flooded by woot.com. yoiu can find Barracuda's for about the same as the HT Omega Striker 7.1 if you look hard enough, and the extra features of the Razer make it a better buy than the Striker or low end Asus Xonor DX. Razer's ESP while gaming is a big difference, and maybe not worth getting the Razer over the high end Asus or HT Omega, but for the price of the cheaper cards, it's a deal maker.

just to clarify the striker uses the older chip c-media 8770 which is still a good chip but the 8788 is far better.

there is a third option and that is if you want to have the x-fi chipset but not have to deal with the poor customer service or quality of creative you can get the x-fi from AuzenTech which use higher end parts and have more connections

i went from a x-fi extreme music to the HT OMEGA claro and it sounds so much better then the creative version of the x-fi
