24 bit, 96 khz soundcards
This is a discussion about 24 bit, 96 khz soundcards in the Windows Hardware category; I'm thinking about upgrading my 2 year old sblive value with a better card. I am slightly audiophile , as I don't play many games,don't use EAX, A3d, and just listen to mp3, cd. . . . I have seen a relatively cheap 24 bit soundcard: Terratec audiosystem EWX 24/96.

I have seen a relatively cheap 24 bit soundcard: Terratec audiosystem EWX 24/96. It costs € 180 (without VAT).
Since I don't want all the typical stuff a "gamer" card has (Game Theater XP, for instance):
1)I s it worth the buy?
2)should I wait for audigy's releasy in Europe? I've heard sb audigy is not really a 24 bit soundcard 8) . Is that true?
3) Is there really any audible difference between the XP (20 bit/48hz and the EWX 24/96 (24 bit/96 khz)?
PS: I had a bad experience the last time I bought a terratec soundcard (DMX fire 1024). Any known bugs in win2k/winxp?

SB Audigy does not record at 24-bit/96kHz DAC and does not provide Dolby Digital encoding.
