both are good cards. but I don't know how the analog DAC's on the X-Mystique are on it since the soundcard is generally used for digital output.

here is a thread on OCForums about the HDA Mystique however no one there has yet to test the analog outputs of the card.

The analog ones are fine, since the digital output just redirects all of the analog data to a single digital stream, AFAIK.
