^I second that, as usual. Of everything I see there, the Auzen X-Fi Forte and X-Meridian 2G are two of my favorites. Asus cards aren't bad, but Auzentech's drivers are a lot more stable, at least in my experience with the two.
The X-Fi Forte and X-Meridian 2G are basically on the same tier of cards, but with different purposes:
X-Fi Forte:
+ PCI-Express x1 Interface
+ Revamped Creative Drivers
+ Headphone Amplifier
+ Quality-weighted front stereo output
- Surround needs a breakout adapter for all outputs
- Slightly lower quality on surround channels
X-Meridian 2g:
+ Designed for 7.1 Surround
+ High quality filters & replaceable OPAMPS on all channels, no real 'weighting'
- PCI Interface
- Stock C-Media drivers
The X-Fi Forte is definitely designed more for people who use headphones, 2.1, or maybe 5.1 surround setups, but it gets a little inconvenient when you want to run 7.1 off of it. The X-Meridian 2G is definitely centered around full 7.1 surround output, and is probably the more flexible of the two cards, but the bad part is that it runs off of the aging PCI interface... not sure how much longer it's going to be around, honestly. Like I said, it all depends on what you plan on using it for.
Going out of the way of what I just said, though, I'd definitely recommend the X-Fi Forte; I have one personally and it's easily the best sub-200 dollar sound card I've ever listened to. Everything seems solid, and it's just a great multi-purpose card as long as you don't plan on running a full 7.1 surround system off of it. In that case, I'd go for the X-Meridian. Otherwise, I recommend going with the Forte.
