Subjective sidegrade. The case with most premium audio cards.

Does anybody know the best way to get the best directional audio out of these? Set windows to 5.1 or use the software 3D tech?

OK thanks! Seems like more of a driver upgrade than anything else with creative. Thank goodness for PAX drivers.

Since we are on topic with the Soundblaster Z series here, I thought I'd have something to share:
Apparently, the newest batches of the Z is different from the batch that was on initial release back in Nov 2012. The difference being that the latest batch of Z is using a mixture G-Luxon and Fujicon caps.
Originally, it used Nichicon Gold caps.
The Zx on the other hand while on paper is pretty much the same thing with the Z except for the ACM module, does use Nichicon Gold caps until today.
Just thought I'd give a heads-up.

Half a dozen of one, 6 of the other.
In other words, one isn't arguably better or worse than the other, hence, a "sidegrade", not an upgrade or downgrade.

Thank you, equal.
