X-Fi Titanium HD vs ODAC
The Titanium HD is clearly better than the ODAC. Didn't expect to find this, specially since the ODAC is so well praised, and the X-fi Titanium HD is made by a game Company. But there's a lot more clarity, punch, bass in the X-fi than on the ODAC. I use the RCA Line out to connect to my...- Alec246

Fidelizer appreciation and impressions thread
Just bought my Pro Key, couldn't resist after hearing the improvement that Free gave me and wanting even more! As a curiosity, how close does Fidelizer gets the sound quality to a better OS for music like Linux and MAC?- Alec246

Fidelizer appreciation and impressions thread
Wow the difference is amazing!! I admit I didn't believe this software doing only Windows Optimizations could improve audio so much when Foobar2000 is already doing a great job, but the clarity, the soundstage, everything is clearly improved after using Fidelizer. I was only believing I could...- Alec246

O2 AMP + ODAC

Best way to get a 5.1 AudioStream movie to sound good on my 2.0 system
I have always had this issue in my head. How do I get like a Star Wars movie, with a 5.1 or 6.1 AudioStream, and get it to sound good on my Headphone or on my 2.0 Speaker system? I tried using PotPlayer to output the audio to 2.0, but that didn't sound good at all, it was clear a lot of...- Alec246

How can I best control the volume of my PC?
Thank you for the suggestion! I guess it's gonna have to be this way until I figure something else. I read there are a lot of Monitor Controller Dials. Anyone has any suggestion about those?- Alec246

How can I best control the volume of my PC?
So, I have a ODAC, and I just bought a pair of wonderful JBL LSR305 Monitor Speakers. These really sound good! The issue is. The ODAC is made to run at maximum volume, so as not to loose any sound quality, and these speakers have separate volume control that are not made to be touched every...- Alec246
