You understand wrong. The chipset is what does the encoding. That is why I was wondering how they were going to make the X-FI chipset encode DDL when it is not a feature on that chipset. This card seems to have nothing for me since:
1. I am going to Vista soon and Creative has yet to make any Vista drivers worthy to use.
2. Analog is not for me.
3. If I were to use analog, I'd get the Auzentech Meridian since it has the best analog setup on the planet.
As I keep saying, I am a small minority, but I would not buy a better Creative card from any company. EAX is meaningless in my world and if they don't find a workaround for HAL under Vista, Vista will never support EAX anyways.
