What do you think of the sound from the 8RDA+ MB?

Same speaker set up as my Soundblaster X-Gamer and it blows the Gamer away!!!!

Havent tested it with everything yet but this built in sound would be hard to beat. Great control panel also.

Using Cambridge Soundworks speakers and Sub, 4.1 setup. Maybe even better speakers would show up some other flaws though.

What do you guys think?

Sounds nice (your post, that is, not the 8RDA+ which I yet not own). Are the sound chips/cirquits the same on the 8RDA and 8RDA+, btw?

the + gives you soundstorm.

My understanding is that the RDA+ does not have soundstorm...

Wrong. The + omits the optical bracket, so no SS.

The 8RDA+ is SS capable. That is the key distinguishing feature. Whether you use an optical connection or not, the sound on the 8RDA+ is still better than on the 8RDA.
