Seasons Greetings from the Howells!

OK, so it's too early, but I want you guys to be thinking about what you're gonna get me this year... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I must seek your advice on this. I'm back to basics right now, having just loaded XP Pro.
I'm trying to decide whether to go back to the tried and true, 5.3 w/ WaveDriver OR to try 6.1 with a GOOD sound card in Monitor Mode. (The 6.1 WaveDriver is not an option for me til it's fixed and reliable).

I HAD 6.1 loaded a few days ago, and had tried the SBlaster through 3&4/MonitorMode, and it's sound was unacceptably thin (cheap card).

Having tried that, here's my question. Is there a GOOD sound card that will match up with the sound of the Digi card. I mean, when I bounce a mix while listening through the Digi card, is there a good card that will sound as exactly close to the Digi card as possible?
What do you guys do, or suggest, especially 6.1 users?

This will determine whether I back to 5.3 for now, or try 6.1 again (with new sound card).

thanks very much for any advice..... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
