For a professional demo, you do not want an Audigy card, it is a consumer grade card. It's ok for games, but I wouldn't use it to make a demo. A couple reasons why it is not professional quality:
They claim 24 bit sound but it is really downsampled to 16 bit and upsampled to 24 bit. That would be like taking a 128k MP3 and reencoding it at 320k - it still wouldn't sound as good as if it had been originally sampled at the higher bitrate.
ASIO drivers are problematic and get some pops and noise, especially doing multiple streams at once on the Audigy.


Probably the cheapest pro type card would be a Terratec DMS 6Fire though the Emu 1212m mentioned would be good too. It depends on your budget. Some pro sound cards can run over $1000.
