Hmmm... interesting. I've been totally fine on my integrated Realtek soundcards so far. Donno, what's that Zii gonna change on my moderate-to-above-average quality collection of MP3s?
I don't know man, the sound has been really good for what I use (only headphones as I'm too used to them). It is true that especially the recording could be better, especially in the noise-reduction part, but still manageable even without any specific sound card.
Back when I had Live! it actually counted! The main-boards were rarely equipped with anything more than a CPU socket and a few RAM bays, so a sound card made all the difference, especially in games like Half-Life or even Command&Conquer, man! Those were days...

As you said, you simply didn't try X-Fi Titanium series sound cards.
I don't think you'll use build-in sound after using X-Fi for a month.
