Another newbie question. How do y'all rate the on-board sound versus some of the finer cards available?

TIA

From what I understand it's the exact same onboard sound that comes on the a7n8x but without some certification to it doesn't have the soundstorm name. If that's the case, the audigy kicks it's ***. It doesn't sound bad at all, but the audigy, to me, sounds so much better.

8rda+ uses Nforce APU which supports EAX 2.0. Its quality is equivalent to Creative Audigy1 Sound card.

8rda+ did not get sound storm certification because of it lacks of s/pdif output. Other than that it is the same as A7N8X dlx
