Problem is, although the card accepts 24-bit in and out it's processed at 16bit. AFAIK there's no way to bypass this since you're just passing through data (no need to convert to analogue). Also, you may not be able to get 24-bit working if you use NT (NT4/2000/XP).
Otherwise the Audigy is a good buy, particularly as it doesn't have the same problems with VIA motherboards as the Live does.

Hello, just a question about the new Creative Audigy cards... are they able to
playback the 24-bit audio that MAD produces. I think I'd be be willing to pick one up (the Value OEM is only 110 Canadian $$s) if it could pass the MAD plug-in for WinAMP output out it's SPDIF at 24-bit.
thanks, MAtt
