Great card. The sound is excellent and the variety of inputs/outputs is great. The table mic works very well, including the directional settings. Even the volume knob is super smooth and is weirdly fun to use. Creative's software has improved as well and I've had no issues using it to configure anything. It also works nicely with Razer Surround although I ended up disabling that since the card sounds so good without any adjustments. Make sure you have good headphones to match, of course.
