USB Sound card?

[AvengerUK]

Firstly, Thanks for all the replies in the Headphones thread

Offtopic-ish

I had alot of trouble with Amazon UK - I ordered DT 770 80 Ohm's - which were in stock at the time, however they never got dispatched and missed the delivery estimate twice, after 4 chats with support with "it'll definately be there" every single time, I finally got a honest fellow who basically said, "dont expect it this week" "not in stock" "no idea when it will be" kinda thing.

Anyway, I ended up going with the V-Moda Crossfade LP's - now ive had them on for 10mins, im already starting to get used to them, but the sound is amazing. Best ive ever had easily.

Clear, defined bass, no distortion, etc.

One problem however, i bought a flexable PCI extender as my crossfire cards cover up the PCI slots, however, its very slightly too tall so I cant use my X-Fi - onboard at the moment.

Is there a USB alternative worth having?

Thanks

USB version is good with headphones for movies, games and music. The 5.1 external is also movies, games and music but adds the option of connecting 5.1 speakers to it.
