honestly, if you are looking for the best gaming and HI-FI solution with one card, the X-FI Extreme pro is the way to go. Its got some pretty high-quality AKM dacs that the lower x-fi's do not have. Of course, you should get it modded for the best results, but for under $200 it is one of the best gaming cards you can buy, and the mods make the listening side more than adequate- I promise you will be happy with the sound
