Thanks alot for the info! I like to be thorough in my research lol.
Im definently thinking about buying the champion when its on sale for 130. I will be waiting for it to go on sale but in the meantime I think that im going to keep checking up on the Recon 3D. Im also kind of skeptical to pull the trigger on it because knowing my luck The Titanium HD that just got made is going to get an optical input and support for my 5.1 which it does not have. Anyway no word at CES about anything new so let see. Thanks again!

The Titanium HD is classed under audiophile equipment while the X-Fi cards are classed under gaming equipment on Creative's site. This might explain why it doesn't have optical (TOSLINK) in/out.

Intel i9-12900K
ASUS Prime Z690-A
Corsair 850W RM850x
Windows 11 Professional
Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB
Corsair Dominator 32GB DDR5 5200MHz
EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING
4x Samsung 2TB 980 Pro SSD + 1x ADATA 512GB SU800
Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB SIGNATURE SERIES Mid-Tower - Neon Night

if it was audiophile equipment, it should have *just* a coaxial S/PDIF or an optical toslink so we can bypass it for a better DAC AMP combo
 
okay, okay, just kidding on that

eVGA FTW!

The lowest price I could find is $165 on Mwave. Keep looking for sales. Youll find it.
