Hi everyone,
I've had some threads about sound cards and its come down to these two and would love to ultimately hear what would be better.
Prices are where I live:
E10K: $125
Essence STX: $175
My headphones are Creative Aurvana Live 2 http://us.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets/creative-aurvana-live2 (in case this might have an impact on what is better). I strictly speaking just want the overall best audio experience. I never have used virtual surround so its not something to take into consideration.
I like E10Ks volume knob and tiny bass-switch, but I dislike the fact it has no software so im gonna have to like what it outputs "out of the box" (unless I manually use equalizer).
I like STX because it comes with software to fiddle with (and probably pre-set equalizers too), but I dislike its higher price, and dont know if it might be overkill for my headphones (for all I know they both are???). Will I even be able to hear a difference between these two with my headphones?
Anyways, any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
