I'm not sure about the Audigy range but I know the previous Soundblaster Live cards could only output digitally at 48KHz. So anything ripped from a CD would have to be resampled from 44KHz to 48KHz and in general that's something to avoid.
I use a Turtle Beach Audiotron in my HiFi rack connected optically to my 568. The audiotron acts as a dedicated network music client and I have it connected to my PC where I've ripped most of my CD collection using Audiograbber and Lame at 320kb/s. Sounds pretty good to me
