Okay, this is coming from an audiophile here. They suck for music. I don't think Creative implemented the DAC chip (CS4382) properly, leaving all the 0.1uF bypass capacitors out that Cirrus Logic recommended, and the amp stage is SHOTTY. An okay opamp implemented poorly. The ADC stage (what you use to record vinyl to computer) is even worse. I recommend an EMU 0404, EMU 1820 or one in the EMU series (professional section of creative) if you're planning to record vinyl over to the computer. EMU0404 is 99 dollars and affords you superior DACs and superior amp stage.
