thanks guys, im surprised on your opinions and i'm surprised how everyone got into the act...

so yes, i'm joining a car show here in the philippines, and it's basically an all around event (best in paint, best of show, best sound quality, etc.) i would think that we have a shot at best of show, best in paint and best european car, i'm just considering if we have a shot at best sq (i'm in charge of the car's carputer project)..

so here's the thing.. the sound card i'll be using would be a sound blaster digital music, and i've checked and it processes audio at 16-bit, so i guess i'm pretty much done if they're gonna be using a 24-bit encoded cd..

ok so we've already concluded that a carputer can compete with a head unit, provided that a good sound processor is used... so what sound card would be best for competing in an sq event?
