7.1 Sound Card with DSP

[tgxiii]

Can anyone recommend a 7.1 sound card with a built-in DSP? I know Santa Cruz has one, but it's only 5.1 support.

the m-audio revolution is a 7.1 card that retails for around $100...i'm almost certain that the DSP is built-in, but i think i once heard someone say it's not so you might want to investigate a little further. Just a little info on m-audio...this is their first real consumer card that they have produced, the normally do high end recording equipment.

EDIT: nevermind, did a little research and it doesn't have it's own processor.

The Revolution actually doesn't have a DSP. I'm still considering this sound card for myself, but I am asking for a friend who has WAAAY too much money and wants the best of everything.

Does the new Audigy 2 ZS sound card have DSP? If so, how much is it?

hmmm...i don't know if the 2 zs specifically does, i but i do know the current audigy 2's do have built-in dsp (one of the reasons they are loved by gamers).

If you can get your hands on a Hercules Game Theater XP you should consider it, it's a great card and it does have 7.1 support.

Audigy 2 ZS has DSP and 7.1 and it goes as low as $81 for retail box on the net.
