Question about Integrated Sound

I have a question about the relative virtues of the following CODEC's I often see on motherboards. I'm upgrading from an nForce2 board, so I'm not sure how far a step down new audio solutions will be. The integrated solutions I'm seeing are Realtek ALC850 and ALC882D, as well as ADI AD1986A. On some DFI boards, they have Karajan sound - but that seems to just be based on the ALC850?

Any advice? I was leaning towards buying a Asus A8R-MVP, until I noticed that it has the same sound solution as some pretty low end boards...

Thanks very much in advance!

Even though this doesn't answer your question, I think most users would agree that you shouldn't buy a motherboard based on onboard sound.

Buy a motherboard that does what you need it to best, and buy a seperate sound card.
 
I guess you're right, but with performance so similar across AMD boards, I've just been shopping for features...
 
Karajan is crap. If you want less bad online sound, go with an ATI chipset AMD board as some of those have Azalia.
