Gold is the best sound card ever made.
The sound quality is soooo good, even compared to my previous SB-PCI128 and SB16 sound cards. And all this is achieved in one card, instead of having to use two to get the good features of both cards. Also, lots of other things come in the box like nice big, colour photos of the sound card and cables and games. Also Wavestudio, etc come with the card too. RCA left and right channels, like your stereo.
