If you want a cheap but decent card get either a USB thing with balanced outputs (Focusrite s2?) or go for an Asus Xonar, which at least has good DACs and some shielding.
The X-Fi cards have, in my experience, too much crap. Lots of DSP you don't want or need, and they're massively overpriced. Similar to a lot of Creative sound cards. My £10 Sound Blaster Live! from 199something sounds nicer than a midrange X-Fi if you ask me...
