Hi-fi quality sound card??

[andys2]

I'm going to be moving my PC soon into the same room as my Hi-fi, so I'm looking to upgrade my sound card and connect the PC to the Hi-fi.
Any recomendations for a good sound card?

There is no better soundcard.

Try the Audiophile 2496 for amazing stereo reproduction or the Revolution 5.1/7.1 for AC3 reproduction.

Isn't the new Creative sound card (x-fi?) supposed to be the mutts nuts?

1. Run the EXE for the new driver, it will deal with upgrading existing files and inform Windows of the change.
2. Use Add/Remove Programs, uninstall the software/driver package, then run the EXE.
3. If the EXE is just a self-extracting zip file with no setup.exe inside of it, use Device Manager to update the driver (double click the item, select update, point to directory).
