Where to buy HDA Digital X-Mystique 7.1??

I've just splashed out on a load of new AV stuff and I'd like to buy a sound card for my PC for connectivity. I'm pretty sure that I want the HDA Digital X-Mystique 7.1 as it's received gleaming reviews from what I've read. However, I can't actually find one to buy. Does anyone know where I can pick one up for around the £50 mark or have an alternative recommendation?

overclockers.co.uk have them on their site but out of stock. You could give them a call and ask when there getting them back in stock.

Oh yeah, that's the only place I've seen them. I'll give them a try on Monday.

Nope. They've told me they can't expect any more in before Christmas and they haven't had any for the last few weeks.

Does anyone know another retailer that's selling them or have an alternative card around the same price and an equal performer?

I imagine Hitec are getting ready to start shipping the X-Plosion instead. It will feature uncompressed DTS output instead of [or maybe in addition to?] DDL. I have a Mystique, it is stunning on my Hi-Fi but I'm very tempted to upgrade to the X-Plosion when it's released shortly.

If U must have a Mystique U can always buy it from Hitec direct. I know of people in the UK who have ordered it direct. Not quite as cheap though.

I've heard it will be around £100, which is nearly 3 times as much as the Mystique is/was. Let's hope they put more effort into the drivers, the Mystique ones are buggy as hell! I've had no end of freezes, lockups and BSODs this last week as I struggle to keep it stable.
