I currently have the Hurcules Muse XL (CMI 8738) PCI soundcard installed. Its doing an OK job, no complaints really. Howerver, I currently came accross a Ensoniq 1370 PCI sound card. I understand that these cards were as good as the SBLives or the SB64? Anyways, I wondered what would be the best sound card for me here. Will be installed under Windows XP. Thanks for any suggestions.

well i did the ziff davis sound bench on the two and teh 1370 came out on top with barely over 1% cpu time while that muse XL was 9%

also i think the 1370 has a slighly more fullness sound too it
