    I think I'm an MP3 because I'm at a loss right now.

      So I'm looking for a soundcard that supports 7.1 and preferably PCIE 3.0 1X interface. A > 118SNr would be nice, and FLAC playback is necessary. Any suggestions are great!

            xD I do appreciate the humor! I'm currently using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium 250 ohm Headphones though. Planning on upgrading to Sennheiser HD 800's or Beyerdynamic T1's.

              I was looking for something with the Michael J Fox back to the future scene but did not like anything so settled for this.

                    Sorry, I missed the main point of the post. I got caught up in thinking that the title would be the most adorable thing to say if dating a felllow geek. Is Creative still putting out good products? I know they're still in business, but the last sound card I bought was a Creative SB16 ISA card.

                      They put out products on par with the same ones they released back when they were popular. They are great for gaming, but not that good for music, especially if you're going to go as far as FLAC playback (which many would argue is completely impossible to tell from a 320Kbps MP3 file, but I find it quite easy to pick it out from any other format, especially when it comes to anything with a punchy treble line). As far as Creative cards, they're stable, but you won't be getting 192 KHz at 24 Bit playback with a 124 SNr on a pair of 600 Ohm cans. Their 7.1 support is the best so far as I know still.

                        Then get a gaming sound card. If you want to listen to music, they make devices specifically for that, too.

                          Well, I'm saying none of the gaming cards (That I know of) Have the features I want.
