Hi I have a soundblaster live 5.1 installed in my HTPC.
I use this system to watch my DVD's listen to music and soon for blue ray playback.
I am wondering if it is worth upgrading to a better card like the x-fi?
I am connected with coax using SPDIF.
I do all my decoding with my amp - Yamaha RX-V863.
So if let do all the decoding will there really be a difference is sound quality with a newer soundcard?
