Hey/Hi been a long time viewer and now first time poster!

Anyways just saw this sound card coming out and wanted to see what people thought about it. I have the older XMystique card and haven't seen any posts about that card in these forums either. I think its a nice little sounds card considering it allows swapable opamps, thought you guys would be all over that. I see a lot of posts bout the Chaintech and X-fi cards. I own a X-fi also and enjoy that card but I feel the XMystique is just as good, there different though. Looking forward to the new card and wanted to get input on it from you guys. Should I just go with this new card or try an emu1212?

pics at the link below, uses cmedia 8788 HD chipset.

Seems like the Korean manfacturers have a heart for us audio freaks. Another interesting new card: http://www.microsound.co.kr/www/sub_pro12.htm

Wow that looks like a nice card also. I just know I'm gonna end up with 3 sound cards in my system

That Comrade soundcard looks like it could do some serious damage.

Am I wrong or the Comrad digital 7.1 HiFi does cost more than 500 USD ?

Your wrong, on there site they list a Geforce 6800GS, costing 169,000 whatevers, in the US that cards costs around $200. So 83,000 should probably be around $99. Unless they are selling there 6800GS @ $1000

That price should be in Korean won, which would translate to $89.18 USD.

Somehow the card remind me of Onkyo SE-150.

If so, might someone point me to an online shop (that ships to eu) where to buy this card? I tried to email a couple, with no answer... This card seems so interesting...

Yeah all these cards seem interesting. I was only going to use mine for movies and games though and was interested in DTS Interactive feature. I may just get the X-plosion instead since I don't need analog output. if you wanted analog output, this one maybe very nice. I like the swappable opamps.
