Which sound card is better?

[imported_Moses]

I have and Audigy 1 and needed a sound card for my other so I bought an Audigy 2 Value OEM, which one is better? I put the Audigy 2 Value OEM in my main comp and I am not to sure if it is better or worse....

Any comments / suggestions?

A2 value should be slightly better from what I understand.

I seem to notice a bit more fuzz with the A2 value than I did with the Audigy 1 in some of my mp3s but I am not to sure if it is just me listening harder for it than I used to.

The Audigy 2 ZS is the "true" Audigy 2, in my opinion.

The "plain jane" Audigy 2 is in some ways a backwards step from the Audigy 1. While published SNR specs are higher, these are under very controlled conditions.

The Audigy 2's main fault is a faulty amplifier, that easily clips and distorts at high master volume settings. Turn it down to around 70-75%, and it should be "technically better" than the A1. The A2 ZS fixed these distortion problems.
