The Live! 24-Bit (SB0410) uses a CS4382 DAC and WM8775 ADC, the Audigy SE/Value (SB0570) employs a WM8768 for the DAC instead. Otherwise they're quite similar and share a largely identical PCB layout. Which of them sounds better stock, that's hard to tell. In theory the CS4382 has the better specs, in practice it seems to be the power buffering that's limiting with these cards.

That is a major problem. You must find out why there isn't a difference. No offense, but if you can't tell the difference between the PX100 and some $3 headphones, then there is no point buying more expensive headphones. I am confident that it has to do with your source, whether it be the soundcard or the sound files themselves.

Well, I play also CD's so it's not my files.
It could be sound card.
So You sayin 24 Live will be enough for hearing music good with it?
WOnt need that Audigy SE/VALUE ?

Well really the audigy series is good for gaming but not recommended for music. But it would still be a huge improvement over onboard. If you still don't see the difference between $3 'phones and PX100's after getting a new card

then please get your ears checked lols.

Well like Jimothy said, the most recommended(at head-fi) of the creative line is probably the EMU, which is what I plan to get soon.
