I think the Soundblaster cards probably will be inferior to the more expensive cards. They miss multiple inputs/outputs for one thing (although you can use the digital in/outs at the same time as the analogs). You only need the KX drivers if you want to use the machine for recording with cubase or some similar program, but the drivers also work fine with games and other programs. The learning curve to use the drivers is quite steep, but by reading the documentation on their site and tweaking a bit most people should be able to set it up. The KX drivers also have several effects and instrument plugins and you have a very advanced routing interface directly to the soundcard. If you're a musician on a tight budget (aren't we all :-) ) I strongly advice you to check this out and spend the money you save on f.ex a better microfone (or food).

Obviously you don't know what you're talking about. The Live and Audigy cards have excellent 24/96 khz DACs. The problems are in the "shitty" drivers. This is where KX comes in. These cards are really a rejigged version of the EMu APS semi professional sound card. Creative bought EMU a few years ago and has been using much of the technology it developed for its professional recording gear in its consumer cards (source: Computeractive).

Check out the KX Project. This lets you use an ordinary soundblaster card for professional, low-latency recording. This is what I have used for my project, and it works great - down to 5ms latency.
