http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/x-fi_prelude.php check this. Gamer is a basic xfi card, fatality pro series is better and this (check link) is the best x-fi you can get.

well i noticed the difference between my Audigy2 zs and X-fi. Now i read a lot of reviews when i bought my card and i doubt the gamer version would have something better than the Hi-Fidelity versions. I'm not saying ur lying but maybe you have misread the article. Dsp is for movies, i have it disabled cos i only listen to music. (there is also dsp for audio but its pointless to have it on).

DSP's are what make the sound...they are what boost the signal and everything, also, for $120, you can't get alot of the higher end cards, x-Fi is better than hi-fi, or per creative...i'm on the gamer, and i have yet to have any issues...I got mine for 100, but i know for a fact that newegg has them for $50

x-fi is actually for surround sound on 2 speakers. it recreates surround sound on only 2 speakers.

i believe, and this is just from what i recall, that it also gives you better quality sound by a couple of kb/s
