    I kno there is a similar question on the forums but i am talking about upgrading to the original Audigy Platinum from the sound blaster live 5.1. Is it worth it? (for $120 used)

    It's worth it if you need all of the ports the Audigy Drive offers. You would also get some improvenment in sound quality with the Audigy.

    you will definitely notice a difference in sound. why not get a audigy 2? if you don't need the bay drive, you can always get the audigy 2 oem for 78 bucks from newegg, shipped.
