When Creative unleashed the original Audigy series, we were left somewhat unimpressed and slightly agitated. The exclusion of 24 bit/96kHz recording, questionable marketing tactics, and mediocre sound left its utility somewhere south of great. Creative quickly released the Audigy2, a much improved product that offered full 24 bit/96kHz playback and recording, as well as throwing in 6.1 channels, EAX 3.0, AdvancedHD, DVD-Audio, and as a bonus, great sound. The Audig2 still had room for improvement, especially with stiffening competition from sound cards based on VIA's most excellent Envy24.
