red hack, if your'e not happy and you got the extra cash- go for it and get an audigy 2 zs.

you won't regret it. i had an audigy ls before, and the difference was like night and day. i really got it for increase performance to stop the slight studdering i had in far cry in huge on-screen explosions. but when i listened to my music files, there was truely sounds/channels there that wasn't there before.
