Creative finally announced cards to go with their X-Fi uber sound chip and they are not cheap. They’re going to have a hard sell on their hands, particularly as none seem to do Dolby Digital encoding. I was waiting for these but at that price I might just go for an X-Mystique instead. I’d certainly be intersted to hear output from an X-Fi card on quality headphones though, those are some tall claims but it seems they’ve got the hardware to back it up. (via ShackNews)
