So it's been over 2 years now, and they haven't released a new sound card yet? Just the same old stuff SBX and Dolby Headphone.

Creative released the X7 last year. But do you mean Hardware wise or software wise?
Thank you so much, went ahead and picked up the soundcard from Frys(Pricematched Amazon) and it sounds great with my HD 558. The ACM sounds pretty awesome too.
Cant believe how high the cost of the ZxR line has become. You use to be able to pick up the Z for $60 at Best Buy, what caused the price to shoot up so dramatically? Are they just really popular?
So I have the Z card, and the E5 amp. Is it better if I used the Optical cable from my Z soundcard to the E5? Or just use straight from the E5 usb cable (without the Z soundcard)?
They really went back a step with the new series of soundcards. CMSS-3D is a lot better than what they put out. They are really gimping EAX too. I think I might buy a Titanium off ebay. I had the Z but replaced it with the Asus Xonar DGX, I think the Xonar has much better sound processing, and it's nice that I can feed it to an Optical DAC like a FiiO D03K and still get Dolby Headphone to work.
I wonder if they could make new soundcards that use Dolby's new Atmos to create a binaural output. They really need to stop doing speaker simulation and move to object based sound.
