My current on-board solution is also one of those Asus Supreme X-Fi Solutions and my PC360s sound horrible when connected to it, I have to use the Astro mixamp to make it sound decent. I ordered my Titanium HD last week hopefully they will ship monday and it's going to take 10days for it to arrive :| </3 South Africa.

 

I have to say the PC360 does leak A LOT of audio, is there anyway of dampening it? I mean it's so much that people can hear my game audio in mumble even though my sensitivity is super low.

I had this problem too but fixed it with proper cabling from soundcard to amp.

(though the mobo only did it twice)  Tried many many drivers the only difference being how often the popping and clicking would occur but I could never get rid of them completely.  

Now I understand the Titanium HD was build from the ground up for gaming, but I needed something that could push my headphones.  I currently use a pair of ATH-M50 running through a Mackie Big Knob but in a few days I'm going to order a pair of ATH-AD900 since they got the [H]ard|OCP Gold Award and I've read plenty of threads on these forums that will provide the best performance for competitive gameplay..

I don't know.. I'll see what results I get.
