thanks
the gtxp and santa crux use the same dsp chip... so they are very close. the big diff is the huge amount of connectors and usb hub you get with the gtxp.
i bought this sound card when it first came out, and i love it! the sound quality is far superior to an creative card i've ever owned (sorry, haven't bought an audigy.) my card is now 6.1 .. all i had to do was update the drivers. i don't have a 6.1 setup .. just stereo and headphones, but i could have it, if i had enough speakers... hehe. i think it will be 7.1 capable whenever they finalize the standard... it has enough connectors, it just need to output them somewhere. the usb hub is no longer necessary since all the new boards have 4+ usb ports, but it was very nice when i first got it. never had an issue with this card. it's great, and $75 is an awesome price for a retail version!
