hey guys. i got a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium 70SB088000004 and wanted to know: would it be worth upgrading it to one of the newer sound blasters that are out(Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D )? I may wait to see what new sound cards asus is releasing this year.. saw a video on youtube of a new card at the ces
 
no!
The Recon3D is then able to take the 5.1 audio and down-mix it using licensed THX TruStudio PRO technology, creating a virtual surround effect over stereo headphones. It's a feature that's been available to PC gamers for years via Creative’s CMSS3D technology, but it's a new option for console gamers.
the majic word is the second and last 1s... console gamers... recon 3d is the same cmss3d just designed to work on consoles 2. there is no improvement in sound quality over what you already have and you get reduced connectivity to boot.
