Hey, I've been looking at buying a new audio card. Right now I'm between the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card and the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic. I don't really play games but I'm totally into good sound for my music. With that in mind, which of these two sound cards (or any other sound card) do you recomend? I really don't want to spend more than $200 and I would really like to spend around $100-$150, but then again, I want some awesome sound.

Thanks!

Get the XtremeMusic i have it and its a great card it wont let you down for sound quality and it works great for headphones makes them sound like there in 5.1 but if you want to spend more get the X-fi fatailty newegg is having a sale right now and its at $200 and it also has 64 mb of XRAM which the Xtrememusic and platinum dont have.
 
Yeah, I have the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 and also the AKG K240s headphones... LOL, that's the thing, I have good speakers, but have been missing out because my motherboard's (or any motherboard's) onboard sound isnt a good enough source. Thanks for the advice though.

So cool, I think I'll go with the XtremeMusic then... sounds promising and most of the reviews have been positive. Before I go and buy it though, do you guys have suggestions for any other sound cards besides the two I just mentioned and the x-fi fatality?
