I would personally not choose Audigy, or any Creative card based on the 
EMU10K1 chipset. These chips do all their processing at 48Khz. In other 
words, a 44.1Khz signal comes in, is resampled to 48Khz, processed, and 
then resampled back to the original sampling rate.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Luke
