AuzenTech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect

Could this be the sound card to get for the HTPC? Could this be the best thing since soundstorm?

Heres a review I found:

It used to be from Bluegears. Its made in Korea and had amazing reviews.

You are referring to the Mystique this is the sucessor to that card mark.

$141.90 is the retail price for that card.

It's up against the X-fi Music edition which costs 130 bucks, retail price.

"Sure, it may not quite be an X-Fi (That may well be a comparison for another day), but everything it does do, it does exceptionally well."

I agree to this. It does offer RCA-out and an optical output connection, as well as many advanced soundcard features that even integrated soundcards to this day attempt to oversear... but Creative will always stand at the top of the mount when it comes to PC soundcards. The X-fi has a stronger sound processing engine, anyway.
