I think you may have misunderstood that review. That diamond sound card does not have built in MP3 decoding capabilities. The Hardware decoding capabilities can be added on with an MP3 decoding daughter board (and entirely separate card). And while Diamond may be selling the card for under $100 who knows how much the daughter card will be and how long it will take them to release it....

Ooops, low on sleep, I missed that...

Hehe It will still be az very nice board but kmowing Diamond the card will be late and scarce and uprgrades will be few and far between.

Dosnt Creative sell a Mp3+ LIVE soundcard with an onboard deocder and spdif, I was stupid And bought the SB live and FPS2000 when If I waited could have gotten the Sound blaster Live Platinum with the DTT2500

I was just given a REl Magic lite board (sigma designs) This board was put out wat before .MP3 does any one know if it can be "upgraded" to recognize .mp3 audio....the board is run by a DSP so my guess is there should be a utility to do so ( but under Linux I reallly don;t want to mess with it...any ideas or does this becomje another piece of junk lying around for ever oh by the wayu I have a SCREAMING Rat Shack 300 baud external modem I'll seel for $.01...I paid close to $300 (if memory serves me correctly) oh ok....postage sent will be enough...ok ok I'll pay you to take it : )
