Any thoughts on the Fortissimo II?

[DISTURBED]

I'm currently looking for a new sound card, mainly for playing mp3s. I want to get the GameSurround Fortissimo II but havent been able to find any reviews on it, so what do you guys think? Or maybe I should wait for the new SoundBlasters to come out...

-Thanks for reading

From what i've heard it's a very good card. You may want to wait for the new sb's to come out. I use my sb live value for mp3's and it works great. Nothing to complain about.

After using SBLive cards for three years, I replaced the card in my main machine with a Fortissimo 2 (the SBLive just would not co-exist happily with my Aopen mobo).

Given the Fortissimo's price, I'm impressed. Sound quality on-par with SBLive and no driver problems. Haven't tested the card to the max though, as it's only feeding an old pair of Yamaha YST-M200SP's and MSW10 sub.
