Hello, I'm in the market for some mid range sound cards to play mostly my games, have 5.1 plus an extra input to put whatever I want and I came down to some choises in which I would like some help. The contestants are: ASUS XONAR H6: http://www.pc1.gr/showitem.php?ID=200020334 Xonar DS: http://www.visionstudio.gr/prodinfo.asp?id=19156&cat=14 CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER X-FI XTREME AUDIO: http://www.pc1.gr/showitem.php?ID=200015739 Which one do you suggest and why? Also, if you have any viable suggestions pls feel free to express them. Budget is +/- 15 euros. Thx
The Xonar H6 is an expansion card for the Xonar ST so you wouldn't be wanting that one on it's own. I'd go for the Xonar DS over the X-Fi.
Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe: http://www.eworld.com.gr/eworld/products/details/2359 The Z series start from 90 euros which is out of budget. The above is the furthest I can go.
Get the Soundblaster Z oem. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-PCI-E-Sound-Blaster-Soundcard/dp/B009S1NTUU Much better than those cards you listed.
