^^ Too cheap

Something in the middle perhaps

Audigy 4
http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=205&product=14103&nav=1

That looks like a better card, includes SPDIF and an extra audio input.
Also I can personally vouch for the quality of audio in audigy cards but
not the xtrememusic cards, I've never heard one. Audigy is hellish
quality, crystal clear and will probably out perform your CD player in
quality.

+ It has its own remote, which might work with LIRC

Maybe X-Fi is replacing the audigy range, I'm not sure. 

I'm sure that any and all Creative labs cards are better than your on
board so I suppose it comes down to budget.

K,
