THanks for the inputs guys!

THe main purpose of the card is for my HTPC, which will be just playing DVD's and Music.

I'm looking at the Creative, but from the replies, I'm reconsidering =P

More specifically, I'm in Australia..

And the ASUS Xonar's are at least ~$200AUD, which is about $150USD.. completely out of my budget..

I'm not really looking for super-awesome-tastic performance.. but just value for what I'll be spending
