Creative Card w/ Audioengine 2
Hey, my first post!
This site is WAY over my head! I think you guys would be the people to turn to for this... I have a dell laptop and I'm interested in getting better audio for listening to music in stereo. I want to get the Creative Expresscard Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook sound card and output to Audioengine 2s. Is this the best/cheapest way to get quality sound? I know that's subjective... Will this sound better or worse than the Boston Acoustics i-DS3? Thanks!!! -Bryan |

Yes it also hooks to preamp with rca L&R. No pristine opamp here, just good enough.
For 29 bucks it is a solution.
