I googled it but didn't find much info. There were several links, but most were in other languages (d'oh!). I remember reading that the Audigy 3 was supposed to be a significant step up from the Audigy 2 in terms of sound quality, and basically I want to know if anyone can confirm this. I am thinking about buying an E-MU 0404 or 1212m, but if Audigy 3 will be a huge step up in SQ from the Audigy 2 then I will just wait and be happy with my current equipment. However if the Audigy 3 will just be a rehashed Audigy 2 with newer, enhanced 3D gaming capabilities but little or no increase in actual sound quality then I won't bother with it.
Is there enough info available on this card to even know what it will be like? I hope Creative doesn't drop the ball on this one. I know that for most hard core gamers, the Audigy 2's sound quality is just fine but I wish they would release a card that combined the great gaming capabilities of the Audigy 2 with the sound quality of the E-MU cards (that's probably wishful thinking).
Perhaps they are intentionally trying to keep the markets seperate? I mean if the Audigy 3 came out and had the sound quality of an E-MU 0404, Creative probably wouldn't sell as many E-MU cards... It just stinks having to buy 2 sound cards to have great gaming functions and great music fidelity, but maybe it's asking too much to have a jack of all trades. Thoughts? Opinions? Comments?
