Audigy 2 ZS VS Realtek ALC889A

Hur ser dessa ut i jämförelse?

I dagsläget har jag ett Audigy 2 ZS mjukvarumoddat till ett Audigy 4. Kör ut ljudet via SPDIF-out coaxial, till min reciever. Funderar nu på att köpa ett Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H till min HTPC och köra med det inbyggda ljudkortet och köra ut ljudet via SPDIF-out via Toslink/Optisk. Funderar på huruvida ljudkvaliteten står sig mellan dessa två. Audigy 2ZS kom 2003 och det borde ju även ha hänt en del på det inbyggda planet för ljudkort tycker man, på 5 år??

Jag har letat upp lite smidiga faktaspecz på de båda:

Realtek 889A:

Aha, såpass. Det svaret gör ju min värld!
