Hi!
I am looking for high quality sound card. I want pure good sound. Nothing else. Support for games is in last place. I will use it mainly for listening to music and a little of watching movies. And maybe for occasional recording use... I have made a list of cards that i am looking: - E-MU 0404 - E-MU 1212M - Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 - M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 - M-Audio Audiophile 192 - ESI Juli@ - Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 - Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 HiFi And card must have full Vista support. What to choose? Thanks

I normally would recommend one of the M-Audio Audiophile series, however, since you expressed a desire to run Vista and watch video, I'd instead recommend the Asus Xonar DX2. However, imho, currently the best card for PC audio playback is the Audiophile 192.
