And Ford Ranger == Mazda pickup.

Just because a company produces something doesn't mean its crap in another factory.

Yes Auzentech does use x-fi chips but their drivers are also 100x as well as the hardware they use.

How many sound cards can you name that allow customization of their cards?

Xplosion is one.

I'm using a Prelude. Still, any of the X-Fi cards - sans XtremeAudio - are better for gaming, in my opinion, in the scenarios I outlined.

Not disagreeing with you but, care to tell me how their drivers are 100x better and the better hardware used?

As I stated.. name another card that has replaceable opamps.. in fact name a company that allows this modification to the card and PROVIDE the opamps as an additional cost?

Why would you buy a $50 mediocre soundcard just to replace the Op-amps? Unless you mean when they go kaput. I get what you're saying though about the company...

Look up Daniel_K incident....then you should see why Creative does not deserve any of your loyalty or money.

Auzentech Xplosion was $100 new when it first came. If its $50 now awesome!

People are getting a wicked sound card for a great price.

The X-Plosion isn't a mediocre card.

Its not needed.

Any cards put out by Auzentech are hardly mediocre cards and still some of the best on the market.

Asus Xonar is another good brand.

I say you stop sticking your nose into threads involving subjects you know nothing about. How about you do that instead?
