Sound Card? :/

[Shmister]

I built my pc a while back and neglected to buy a sound card as it wasnt a priority at the time. I am now starting to look for upgrades for my pc and figure ill start with sound card. I was wondering if anyone and recommendations on some cards (price not a problem)? I was looking at the Creative Titanium HD and them getting some better speakers with it as well, like the Logitech X-540. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

The ASUS Xonar DX is kinda unbeatable at its current price, though the more fully featured D2(X) sometimes gets down to about $110 or so. You have much higher tier options avaliable, but a X-540 setup really wouldn't be enough to justify a purchase of those cards.

I had just checked a review of the DX after i posted this and was impressed. So would a higher quality speaker setup be more appropriate?
