I'm building a media server to hook up to my home theater system. I have
two sound cards salvaged from old systems to choose from. One is a
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, and the other is a SB Audigy.
Does anybody have a strong opinion on which one would be a better choice?
One factor might be that the system has a somewhat underpowered CPU - an
AMD Athlon 1.4. If either of these has a better engine, and can
accelerate decoding MP3s, that might be a factor.
Any and all opinions welcomed.
