Audigy2 LS vs Audigy 1 Xgamer?

[Shyatic]

Which one is better? I got a Audigy2 LS from a friend who upgraded to the 'super' sound card he says has more instruments or something for MIDI... I have the Audigy in my computer now so I'm wondering if it's worth using or not. Also, what's the difference between the LS and another Audigy2?

Thanks!

Bump...

this one is old, but I was looking for info on this too. I have an Audigy Gamer and was offered an Audigy 2 ZS pretty cheap. I wondering if there would be a noticable diff in sound performance in games/movies.

note: I do not use the Digital out signal.

The Audgy is better because it's a newer and faster chip and includes better SNR among other things.

The Audigies are effectively the same, cptCuervo. Unless you need the extra speaker support of the ZS, or the slightly higher SnR, there's no reason to take it unless it's free.
