I have now tried both Battlefield 2 and Left 4 Dead with Dolby Headphone. L4D worked just fine as one would expect since it uses a software sound engine, but I had not tried it with DH since I did the markl mod. Before the markl mod...

I use my Essence STX with markl modded Denon D5000s and Dolby Headphone works very well in games! Almost all new games support software 5.1 with no problems at all, so I just set windows to 5.1 and the soundcard to headphone mode and...

I'm enough of a fan of all manufacturers so I'm just going to have to buy this, the HD 800, Edition 8 and whatever AKG brings along. If these blow all the others out of the water it will make my life much easier!

It's a new day and pretty much the only thing I've done today is listen to the 990s. The latest breakthrough in my process of messing about is that I tried listening without any pads and frankly it gives by far the best sound so far. The...
