Default Prelude Help

Getting my prelude today and I was just wondering if I should use the newest drivers from the (which are beta) or use the old ones? I don't want to mess anything up as it will be my first time actually using high quality headphones + soundcard. Only asking because I usually just toss the disc when it comes to graphic cards and install the newest from the site. But considering their newest drivers are "beta" I'm skeptical. Running Windows 7 Pro if that helps.

I'd probably give the beta a try since you're running win7

the beta is also working fine with me, at first I'm having trouble with the console launcher, but after I uninstall and clear it with driver cleaner, the between driver is ran fine.
But I can't tell any difference between the old drivers though.

Not sure if there was any real upgrades or anything I think it just added support for windows 7 (Which from what I understand it worked with 7 before 7 was released?) So I don't know... Maybe it was just their "official" update for supporting 7.
