Sound Blaster Live 24-bit External?

[MrSmith]

Hey does anybody know if this thing is any good?

http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=206&product=10702&nav=0

Is anybody using one?
I am thinking about getting it to connect my laptop to my Home Theatre Receiver/Amp so that I can get the 5.1 sound track from some Xvid stuff I have.
Any feedback or other recommendations would be appreciated.

Does anybody know who has stock of this as everyone that I have contacted is waiting for stock from the supplier (2-3 weeks).
Incredible Connection has stock but they want R700 and that is just a rip off as most online stores in SA are selling it for around R450 (but no stock)

Thanks

http://www.dotcomputers.co.za/Creative Sound.htm I have 30 in stock.

Sound is not great, same as you would get from a normal onboard sound card. It is easy to use and they seem to be selling. Would not be my choice but if you dont have onbaord sound or are looking to up to a 5.1 then its worth the buy.

You can check Take2 (http://www.take2.co.za) for availability on this item. They are also located in the Cape Town area.

I am personally waiting for Creative to launch the notebook-version of the Sound-Blaster X-Fi card. The desktop version sounds unbelieveable.

Here is the direct link to the page which displays the card @ R447:
