I got a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, I love it. I can't really put my finger on why. It seems like sound quality is in the ear of the beholder. There was just something about the SB I didn't like. The Santa Cruz was cheaper and still, to my ear, sounds much better.

I completely agree. I bought a Santa Cruz card to replace my SBlive Value cuz I needed 5 channels. The difference is night and day!! Even in 2 channel stereo.
The sound is just a lot 'brighter' with a larger soundstage. Suddenly I didn't need to use any fancypants dsp effects to make my mp3s sound good.
