X-Fi Platinum vs X-Fi Fatal1ty

If you are going for sound rec, then get the Elite Pro version. It has better DACs and some recording software.

The only big diff in the Plat vs the FatleBatleWadle version is the 64 mb of xram that is " supposed to benefit game sound" I don't think it's worth it. The elite pro has the xram, and the better DACs
