Fantastic sound card with a few impracticalities

This is one of the best sound cards out there today. The sound quality is top notch, and the low profile form factor means its really easy to put this in a little home theater set up. The software is especially good, there are lots of little software tools and presets that really help to make whatever you are doing sound as good as possible. I use these through a set of logitech z560 speakers and really is amazing. The only downside is that there is no automatic headphone changeover, so when you want to listen through your headphones you have to manually go into the software and change the output to the headphones, but not that big of a deal. Additionally there is a little clicking noise whenever you change the output coming off the card. Really not that loud but i have a very silent PC and you do notice it, but nothing bad while you are listening.
What's great about it: Great sound quality, low profile, good software
What's not so great: no automatic headphone handover, quiet clicking when you change the output
