I was told that Sound Blaster LIVE is a basic card, Unless you are planning to USE digital OUT (Audigy 4 & X-Fi) from PC to your AMP, then you rather just use your home AMP & SPEAKER setup.
Is this right?
Which of the cards above would be the better card for home use?

Hi Peter.
I upgraded from a LIVE to an Audigy 2 ZS. The former is 16bit and the latter is 24bit.
I believe that you need 24bit for CD audio quality.
Running both in a test against my HiFi CD player into the same stereo amplifier proved to me that the 24bit sound is much better than the 16bit.
What I was after was superior quality HiFi stereo audio, not surround sound.
What are you after?
I can't comment on the other card, nor on a comparison to SPDIF (digital out).
I hope this helps a little.
Cheers, Banjo
