Like the header.. I am currently using the sb live 5.1 plat's.. and i'm near ordering the audigy2 zs model.. but my problem is i want to know is there a diffrence thats noticeable?
all i do is mp3's, anime and gaming ( COD, SCPT, BF1942 ) I just got my z680's and they rock.. overall quality with everything is just great.

before i actually put in the x'tra cash to buy the card i want ur input. i've read tons of reviews that audigy 2 zs cards can perform miracles.. but i also read the same thing when the live 5.1 came out as well..

i'm thinking.. z680's 5.1, Sb live 5.1 ... i'm set rite?

All i need to know is will i notice a diffrence?
Thanx for your input.

The overall sound quality will definitely be better on audigy 2 zs if you have a good set of speakers that can distinguish the differences. Also audigy 2 zs will have less performance impact on games which should be good if you play lots of games. The logitechs are fine speakers. dj_stick will know more about this whole thing.

yeah i figured as much.. i'm soo impressed by the 680's that it would be hard to believe that it can get any better, my pc is fine so i dont get any to no lag in games due to sound, in CoD hearing the gunfire is so many directions is great, now i just can't imagine what else i could hear if i got the audigy's
