if you could consistently pick the Audigy out from the mega buck cards. And
yes, people overpay for things all the time because of the artificial sense
of prestige it gives them.

What!!??
You make some valid points but that "artificial sense of prestige" is
utterly ridiculous.
I spent money on a sound card on recommendation from a trusted source,spent
more again on better A/D conversion in another sound card,which replaced the
first-I did it for the prestige?,FFS you can't go round posing in the
things,ie they ain't Porsche.

 Of course we won't talk about Creative's lame tech support, but hey,
whaddya want, everything?

You get what you pay for,right?
So if tech/driver updates is low on your list,you'll know where to look.
Personally with the myriad possible hiccups tech support SHOULD be a
consideration,likewise warranty and so on.
When you see software writers writing individual(tweaked) drivers for a
single customer or getting into personal email dialogue over an issue that
affects 1%(or less) of customer base you'll understand what tech support
means.

Other than this,if you're happy,and it works,good luck to you,even at
48khz!!
