On top of that, I don't use Vista. Atleast not on my gaming computer. And most the games I play aren't brand new.

And The Forte is great. Love it.

Well, I've been reading this thread carefully since i have the exact problem, except that I play only recent games, like Starcraft 2, and so I was wondering if the fact that the Essence doen't support EAX 5( If I got it ) was really important ?
Plus, I was also wondering if the decoder of the Z-5500 was good ?
Given that it is specified that it supports the decoding of DTS, what about classic formats ?

I'm going to warn you straight up that if you have a high end computer (aka you have high power GPUs), you may experience a buzzing effect which is caused by electrical interference. Didn't work well on my gaming rig that had a 4870x2, but ran fine in a friend's HTPC. You have been warned. Auzentech has done nothing yet to address the issue.
