hppal23 · 02-17-2006, 04:42 AM

How much difference will i notice between the two. I listen to music on my computer almost 2 hours a day. And rarly use headphones on it. I want to know how much difference will there be between the 2 cards. I like a lot of bass and im not to much of a freak about how clear it is. But i still want it to be clear and undistordid. all comments are helpful . thanks I will be using a logitech z-5500 system with the sound card. Matt

You will get allot of mixed answers. What you need to ask yourself is are you prepared to spend the money for the X-Fi. The Audigy 2 Zs is a fine piece of equipment and so is the X-Fi. I have read that for the price difference the X-Fi music is not worth it over the Audigy 2 but if you wanted a X-Fi Platinum or higher then the full package makes it worth the $$. As for sound I can tell you that I found a rather large difference in favor for the X-Fi Platinum over the Audigy 2. I have experience with both and I vote for the X-fi (not necessarily the X-fi music).
