I believe that the difference will definitely be in the hardware.  All
that processing to filter and phase shift the voices will require something
more than just a TSR.  I just hope that current GUS owners can upgrade via
an expansion board.  If not, I think I'll end up buying a second Gravis
soundcard. :)

Gravis has already delivered once with the GUS.  If you've heard this card
at, say, half-potential (currently, there's nothing pushing the envelope),
you will know what I mean.  Also, the technology in GUS3D has been
already implemented by another Canadian company.  I think the method is
called QSound.  I don't see why Gravis can't pull it off.
