    Terratec DMX 6fire 24/96 -- is this a great sound card?

    I'm thinking of buying a sound card strictly for music (i.e., not for gaming). Naturally, I want something that excels in playing music. Is the Terratec a great card for this? Some say the M-Audio Revolution 7.1 is the way to go. Give me some feedback on what you know about these cards please.
