Pros: Outstanding sound quality and specs, 24/96 recording and playback, solid drivers.

Cons: No mic preamp, built-in MIDI synth or surround sound features -- not for gamers.

The Bottom Line: Recommended for those who can use its specific feature set -- it's a good idea to check out features very carefully before buying a soundcard, particularly a $150 soundcard.
