Creative: Audigy 2 ZS vs. Audigy 4

[Ravendust]

I'm ashamed to admit I don't actually own a soundcard, and now that i've got the money together i'm looking for one of the above choices. The 4 was the obvious choice to me because it's a higher number, but the 2 ZS is a little pricier on the Creative site, which seems to suggest it's the better choice. Has anyone got one (other than Prozac - thanks) or the other, or an oppinion, or a comparison, or just any info? Thanks.

P.S: What happened to the Audigy 3?

It's the same DSP, so get the Audigy 2 ZS.

I don't know what DSP is, but if they're the same shouldn't the cheaper option (the Audigy 4) be the better option? Sorry to sound like a n00b but I don't want to spend more money if I don't have to.

Digital Sound Processor, get the ZS. Audigy 4 is just ... bleh.

Ok thanks, I read some reviews too (not that I don't trust you :p) and I think I was on heroin when I looked at the prices, the Audigy 4 is £100 more and comes with a little box and remote control that I have nowhere to put, not to mention would probably never use anyway.

Thanks for your help and support, i've ordered the Audigy 2 ZS :)
