the issue with creative and drivers led me to external DACs. no drivers, far superior audio on headphones.

A lot says it degrades the sound as compared to using directly from the soundcard ports... FYI, they were using headphones...

The Z uses normal capacitors whereas the Zx, ZxR uses better... but if compare Z with x-fi titanum hd, whats your verdict?

Z, Zx & ZxR uses the same nichion gold caps

I have the Z

I watched one of the youtube reviews for ZxR, and he compared it to the Z, saying that one of the difference is the gold caps... I believe he said it was from a new batch of Z.

Should have waited a bit before getting ZxR. Woe of being an early adopter. But still happy with the results. :)

For pure music listening, which card is recommended? X-Fi Titanium HD or SB ZX since both price is the same, which is S$199..

If pure music, then STX is better? its geared more towards music, whereas Z series is geared towards entertainment/gaming and music.

Thanks for your recommendation. But I'm attracted by the ZX series feature which is the speaker n headphone swapping, plus the ACM.. On dilemma now..
