Looking For 2.0 Speakers ($50-100)
I have a really hard time buying something like that because it just looks so terrible. I don't know why only a few companies care about aesthetics as well as sound quality. Seems like you only get one or the other.- Clusterfunk

Looking For 2.0 Speakers ($50-100)
I've been looking for some new 2.0 computer speakers since my laptop speakers don't really cut it when I want to listen to have ambient music or watch a movie with friends. Normally I use a headphone setup (Sennheiser HD650, Schiit Valhalla amp) but I want something so that other people...- Clusterfunk

I Need A New Soundcard
Well, I have pretty much decided to go with the Creative X-Fi Titanium HD because it's more suited for my needs. I like some of the features it has with the software, such as recording "What you hear" (desktop audio). Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'll probably go with that.- Clusterfunk

I Need A New Soundcard
So you would recommend the HT-Omega CLARO Plus+ over the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD?- Clusterfunk

I Need A New Soundcard
I looked at one HT-Omega card, but most are more than I want to spend I realize it's only like $30 more than the Creative one, but it has to stop somewhere. By the way, I have an external headphone amplifier. Would getting a soundcard with a built-in headphone amp like the HT-Omega above...- Clusterfunk

I Need A New Soundcard
The drivers aren't what bother me. From the reviews of that Creative card I have read, people say it is a big improvement over their previous cards. I'll probably end up buying that unless I can find something better.- Clusterfunk

Does the same chip mean same audio processing and same crappy quality?- Clusterfunk

I Need A New Soundcard
I like the looks of this card: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496.html M-Audio is known for good quality stuff, I just don't know if I'd have compatibility problems with it. I'm not averse to an external DAC either. I'm looking at some of Creative's and it seems...- Clusterfunk

I Need A New Soundcard
Well, I've heard Creative stuff is really bad compared to other stuff. I've never had anything else so I wouldn't know. If there is a decent consumer soundcard that would be compatible with games, I would get that. I'm just looking for something that doesn't produce static when I'm watching a...- Clusterfunk

I Need A New Soundcard
I recently decided I need a new soundcard. I currently have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer, but I realized it kind of sucks. I get some static even when listening to YouTube videos and it's really annoying. I have the Schiit Valhalla tube headphone amplifier that I run from the...- Clusterfunk

Well I ordered the Valhalla. I can't wait for the release. I hope that it's better than the Asgard.- Clusterfunk

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
Both Jason and I were kind of shocked that there would be no noticeable difference on any device. It might be my plebeian ears, but I plan giving the Valhalla a shot.- Clusterfunk

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
I've decided to return my Asgard. The minimal (unnoticeable to me) difference is just not worth $250, and I don't want an expensive volume knob.- Clusterfunk

Cool Looking Schiit
I'm not sure if anyone has posted a review yet, but here is mine. To clarify, I have limited knowledge in this area and my set up is probably not ideal. I have no other amps other than the Asgard and it is my first. PC (Soundblaster Xtremegamer) > Asgard > Sennheiser HD650 Just from...- Clusterfunk
