ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Asus Xonars are good choices if you want Creative-alternatives.

E-MU Systems - 0404 USB 2.0 - USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI Interface

EMU 0404 USB if sound quality is the main priority.

I think this EMU 0404 is a bit too much for normal computer user.

Another reason to boycott Creative?

Not worthy imo(creative X-Mod). + Auzentech's XFI driver are Creative based.Performance wise should be the same. What are u trying to ask anyway?Asus soundcard i think should perform just as good. But the thing is we seldom see people using Asus soundcard. i wonder why...

Found some interesting stuff from Ebay, probably made in China.

Some more got Optical Output.

This is more fun, small and easy to carry.

But, don't dare to try. Most probably it won't get any better than my onbard soundcard.

Just wanna know whether the Creative X-mod is worth to buy?

I said no? IMO though..Coz crappy driver support -_-

By the way, the CREATIVE SoundBlaster X-Fi XMOD is cost only RM335-349 in low yat plaza leh. Quite attractive price.

From what I have seen in the 3 years I have had my X-Plosion you can expect better driver support anyway
