Pretty good card, but not overwhelming

Sounds pretty good to my Teufel Motiv 2 speakers.
All thing I prefer the direct sound that gives the card.
So without effects, such as the X-Fi Crystalizer or DTS or EAX effects.
I have tried, and I find cool, but unnatural and somewhat unbalanced.
The driver package responds anyway pretty tough and I had even DTS sound crashes in movies.
Although I was on a Windows 7 system have installed the latest drivers with 64bit.
The drivers are still rubbish!
Therefore, a star deduction.
The card is indeed quite good,
but not a high fidelity!

Have taken the trouble and my High Fidelity Sony CD player to the Teufel Motiv 2 connected via the RCA connectors.
The CD player sound better by a mile!
Therefore, I will probably soon the Creative Blaster X-Fi Titanium replace it with a higher sound card.
