I'm thinking of getting this card as I hear it's quite good for gaming, but I didn't see anything about it's music quality (analog, not digital). Would this card be better for music output than a Chaintech AV710, or worse?

It does seem to be audiophile oriented with it's replaceable ops amps. I'm sure the S/N is high on those Crystal units, and the build quality seems fine. You can get one with a rebate now through Newegg as well.

It's C-Media, and sorry, but SNR isn't high. I'd rather wait for the X-Purity.

Oops, I thought the model number was preceded by a CS. Oh well...
