Doing some reading seems there is a revival with this card and Windows 7 is the reason.

After a protracted delay got the card today..

It sounds LUUUUUUUUUUSH. Also, it works really well in Win 7 32bit! Digital-out and everything into my SB-Xfi - which is essentially reduced to a set of monitor speakers by this thing :D

I also like that its got its own midi interface so it gets round an old problem of having my midi keyboard/synth, and seperate sound module \o/

I've been spoilt by VSTi's the last few years, but can't always afford to get ones I might want, despite having a superb set of sounds at my fingertips in hardware, its nice to have bread+butter instruments available to me again :)

yeah!.. you get to listen to that cool version of Voodoo Child(slight return) that came on the CD. ( it came with the db50 ). Damn what an outstanding midi file that is. If it's not on a CD with your card you NEED! to find it. Good luck with the new toy. Expecting results now :)

lol, not likely as a: I dont have the room inside the computer (its perilously close to the graphics card as is) and b: the XG just fills in a gap nicely for bread+butter instruments, everything else I can pretty much do with VSTi's... tho I'll admit the FM/DX7 module appeals :D
