Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD Internal Sound Card with THX SB1270

Customer Reviews. 90% of all revewers here upgraded from onboard audio to the Titanium HD and were amazed. While that's all well and good, truth be told, even the very old Soundblaster Live! series would've impresed when compared to onboard audio. I had an X-Fi Audio sound card and didn't possibly think this to be a 'big' upgrade, considering it was still an X-Fi series card. Boy was I proven wrong! The jump up in sound quality, clarity and seperation is astounding. Even on my pretty low priced, Harmon Kardon Soundsticks II, the sound (quality) actually rivals audiophile systems costing 4-digit sums of money (and of course, wipes the floor with any "Home Theatre In a Box" set). If you love music, but don't wish to spend thousands on DACs, audiophile quality speakers/subwoofers, and the likes, go for the Titanium HD and a quality 2.1 speaker system (I'd recommend the Harmon Kardon Soundsticks III, given how great the Soundsticks II are for me) and you'll be happy for a long time.
