The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)
The Sound Blaster Z on it's own is perfectly good if you have easy to drive headphones. Don't go over the top if you're new to this.- SaLX

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
Seriously, £45? I got mine ages ago for I think £22 from Amazon UK. They must be very low on stock atm, thus the silly markup. Try going to Amazon.com and I bet you'll get it much cheaper from there (the US site will estimate the import charges to import to Britain). I bet maybe £28 tops...- SaLX

Looks like the Compass 2 has gone from the line-up: http://www.audio-gd.com/Products-EN.htm. I'll still be using this thing for many years to come so **** it.- SaLX

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
Thanks for the tip there Bay. Will lend my X1's to my old man (he loves his Samsung tab S) and see what he thinks of it. He has a hearing aid in one ear...... difficulty on horizon :)- SaLX

Reply to review by 'salx' on item 'Mad Catz CD79051100A1/04/1 Call of Duty: Black Ops Dolby Digital True 5.1 ProGaming Headset for PC - Powered by TRITTON'
Dude - I'm sorry, but I'm seriously skeptical of your claims here. A product aimed at gamer means you're getting ripped off I'm sorry to say. I've heard a lot of gaming headsets now..... and .. er no. get a a good set of headphones and a mic,- SaLX

Philips Fidelio X2 : A Review by Baycode
@Zennheiserie8: Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" is incredibly powerful on the X1's. You'd think Philips had designed these 'phones for that album. Incredible. Great write-up btw and thanks.- SaLX

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
He won't get surround that way if I'm not mistaken genclaymore (you must've forgotten!) . Quite a few people have the O2 connected via the headphone out on their SBZ and I've never read of anybody having this same problem, even though they are double amping. Maybe it's a latency issue??- SaLX

[New] Philips Fidelio X1
@rwpritchett: I got the same cable in January, so it's nice to see they're still being sold. This cable is indeed well made and good looking and I haven't had any problems with it. BTW I got the same measured impedance as you did. So yes... as rwpritchett says... this is a very good option for...- SaLX

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
Nice review, thanks for the link Purple. The meme that onboard is as good as discrete get's slightly blown out of the water here, but I agree with the reviewer's verdict that the Z is all you need really. @RPGWiZaRD - you still not sold your ZxR yet!! :)- SaLX

Cannot decide between Audio-GD NFB11.32 and NFB 15.32
You could of course get the Compass 2 which would allow you to swap out the WM and Sabre depending on what you want.- SaLX

Audio-gd Compass 2 amp/DAC Impressions thread
conquerator2 - thanks for the insights on the AKG's - very much appreciated. Basically buy the headphones first, then check out if the other boards are required or not. I guess that's the beauty of the Compass: it's totally configurable. I seriously doubt I'll be buying another amp/dac combo...- SaLX

Glad to hear you're liking it Conquerator - yeah it's most certainly not cold and clinical as you point out :) You'll need a lot of burn in to get the sound to mature btw, exactly as Kingwa recommends! I've got to step up and seriously get better headphones to match this amp, but my eyes are...- SaLX

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
Great post benbenkr I think whether for good or ill, many PC users now accept the meme that onboard is as good as a physical addon card. Given that, it's entirely logical that Creative wants a piece of the action, so it's not such a weird move after all. I can only speculate (but I'm pretty...- SaLX

@TwoEars yes.. optical out works absolutely flawlessly - it's a superb solution. An external amp is recognised as the best way to power your cans.. and this solution is pretty much perfect for a PC.
