Soundblaster Audigy vs X-Fi

[doanster]

I have an old Audigy ES (not SE) and an X-Fi Xtreme Audio (essentially an Audigy). Which one is the better card to throw into a spare PC I have lying around?

Just want to use it as a music player in my room. Which card has the better analog audio circuitry and sound quality? Will hook it up to a stereo amp.

i've heard poor things about the xtreme audio, but that's becaus they were comparing to xtreme music which is a very good sound card.
