So recently I have been looking into purchasing a sound card. I narrowed down my choices and it comes out as Xonar DX and sound blaster Z. From what I see on the website, the specs exactly the same. But there must be some performance difference that I do not know of. So im here to ask and see if you guys know which sound card is more "bang for the buck", in terms of performance and reliability. At the moment, i do not own any sound cards.
