Need opinions about Hercules 7.1 cards

[Ghostdog]

I have a friend who would like to buy either the Gamesurround III 7.1 or the Digifire 7.1. Both from Herecules.

I would like to here some opinions about these soundcards, as I´m not very experienced in SCs myself.
Good fetures, bad ones, funtionality, problems... all is welcomed.

I would mostly like to here about real-life experiences but other comments are welcomed as well.

Here are the official links:

Dude, they're brand new, we dont have em yet=P

But i'll let you know when i get a GTXP 7.1 and a Klipsh 7.1 in around the year 2204 (no one seems to be releaseing more than 5.1)

My friend just wanted me to gather some opinions, I guess it´s a bit early. Then again I suppose Hercules wouldn´t release a "bad" product.

A better question would be: What do people think about Hercules soundcards?
