In my region, ZS series were impossible to find (I searched the market for 3 hours, visited more then 15 shops). The only available cards X-Fi and Audigy2 Value (which zucks). I was searching for Platinum series (to add extra liveDrive)
Yep, if you create music and listen pure formats, 192 Khz + 128 Voices is obviously greater then 96+64 offered in Audigy2 series but for me, Audigyxx is an outdated sound animal

, we are suppose to upgrade and progress in future instead of downgrading! If X-Fi's are supported by kX, always better. I'm sure not even one dude here will spend on EMU10k if kx started supporting it and if it doesn't happen like now, only those hacintoshers who really want sound out will buy Audigy (but will not be too happy about it as they are buying old).
Buy off ebay or online ...
And if an Audigy is so limited, get a professional card (or even a pro-am card). No sound engineer would touch these crap SoundBlaster cards so I am not sure for what you are using this stuff. I hope you're not using it for any real sound work? SoundBlasters suck, period! Creative even managed to mess up Digital I/O when they had their digital inputs RE-SAMPLE all inputs to another frequency.
