Query: X-Fi is Better than an Equilizer

I bought an Zmod to use with my iPod at work. The 3D Surround and Crystalizer definitely do better than just an equalizer. I bought this sound card to use in my htpc at home that has only AC '97 onboard audio. Mobo udio was ok but sounded flat even when equalizer used. X-Fi is much cleaner sounding and louder than onboard audio. Also the 3D makes sound come out/forward more and Crystalizer helps bass better than eq with my home stereo my htpc is connected to.Digital out only work with 5.1 DVd's and is mini optical, But the quality from standard 2 channel audio is great!, even compared to my onboard digital out.
