Question about Sound

I have a question about the relative virtues of the following CODEC's I often see on motherboards. I'm upgrading from an nForce2 board, so I'm not sure how far a step down new audio solutions will be. The integrated solutions I'm seeing are Realtek ALC850 and ALC882D, as well as ADI AD1986A. On some DFI boards, they have Karajan sound - but that seems to just be based on the ALC850?

Any advice? I was leaning towards buying a Asus A8R-MVP, until I noticed that it has the same sound solution as some pretty low end boards...

Thanks very much in advance!
