E-Mu 1212M is the best bang for the buck I've heard

Despite numerous very expensive upgrades to my computer audio system over the years, I still stand by a statement I made a couple of years ago: the upgrade from my original Soundblaster Audigy (ZX I think?) to an E-Mu 1212M was the biggest upgrade I've ever made.

I think that mainly speaks poorly of the Soundblaster series of cards, whose audio output (of music) is just plain awful (thanks to resampling, I believe).

I've also stated in the past that the difference between high-end DACs is very slight, and is generally greatly exaggerated in the online reviews and comparisons I've read (here, at Head-Fi, and elsewhere).
