Audigy 2 KX Drivers VS. Terratec or M-Audio

I need a piece of advice!

I'm going to upgrade my SB Live 4.1. What I need is good analog 2-channel output only to listen to the music. I heard that the analog output of Audigy 2 is pretty dirty and Terratec or M-audio outperforms Audigy 2 easily. But recently, I installed KX drivers on my SB live and I feel significant improvement in sound. Now I doub't about buying Terratec or M-audio since KX drivers may also improve the sound of Audigy 2. In addition, the price of Terratec and M-audio is much higher.

So the question is: what is better to buy - Audigy 2 (KX drivers) or Terratec (m-audio)? Will terratec or m-audio outperform audigy 2 with KX drivers anyway?

P.S. My soundsystem is Dynaudio contour 1.1 and good class A poweramp...
