looking for opinions on the difference with sb live and audigy 2, is there a noticeable difference,read a few other forums some said the clarity between the two was like night and day.
thanks

I didn't notice too much of a difference. But your ears can be more sensible than mine.

What will you be using it for?

[newme]

it will be for a gaming computer for my 13 year old nephew,but im going to add some z 560 speakers and i want to utilize there performance

I upgraded my SBLive! to an Audigy Gamer, and I *did* notice a difference, although not a huge one. It mostly depends on the speakers; even the Audigy2 will sound bland on a set of crappy speakers.

If you are going to use those speakers, newme, then definitely throw in the Audigy 2. If you buy the retail one it comes with games.

okay thanks ,ill go with the audigy if its in the budget
