I understand your point of view. However, the stereo sound on the leftfront and rightfront of my speakerset only is terrible. No base, as in no base at all. Just try to imagine what that does to 'a night in tunesia' from Charlie Parker :(. With the emu10k1 card this was not a problem, somehow how the sound got near perfect divided over all the speakers and I was a happy listener. I am not a soundengineer, therefor I do not spend 100's of euros on a soundcard. So if the ca0106 card is that bad (winmodem yuk) is the audigy SE better? that's a emu10k2 card?
