How is the software/drivers? I've had two of their cards in the past (both X-Fi cards) and had issues with conflicts that were unpredictable and hard to nail down. In the end I threw out one of the cards in frustration. I'm in the market for a new soundcard, but after my experiences with those cards in the past... although this was a couple of years ago, maybe they've improved their drivers/software?
 
 

I have no issues with W7/W8.  Drivers are good.  I upgraded from a X-Fi HD card.  The amp is more powerful that previous creative cards which will boost headphones as well as external speakers.  Soundstage is about the same to me.   That is a really good price.

 
I have used Creative sound cards for many years now, and I don't have problems. I have the X-fi, and it works great (with win 7). Not sure why some people have so many problems with them, and some don't. I'm guessing maybe it has problems getting along with other hardware. Like: Motherboards, GPU', CPU's, or something. It just has never been nailed down yet, and listed.

DOH! Well thanks for the comments.. seems my doubts cost me the deal :/
 

The SoundBlaster z is probably the BEST card Creative has released in a good while.  Nereus, don't worry...I am sure that others will put it on sale again.  Well worth waiting for!
