So is it safe to assume that my Sennheiser HD 598s will be less than 112Dbs when running through my Titanium HD's headphone out, rated at 1Vrms?

Quote: Haha, okay. I don't swing by Granville too often though.   If I do swing by I'll make sure to be wearing my 598s.   Also, the other day on the bus to school I sat next to a kid with ATH-M30's.

I saw a guy with white M50S's yesterday while taking the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria, BC.

Does anyone here know anything about enabling OpenAL/DS3D in Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad? I'd like to get it enabled, as otherwise this game has absolutely fantastic audio.   I've tried ini tweaking, but changing the audio device from Xaudio2 to the OpenAL device results in a...

Hey Nameless, on the last page you mentioned that Source engine games support OpenAL... could you elaborate?   From what I've seen, they only support OpenAL on OSX.

I could see myself upgrading from the AD700s in the future, and the Titanium HD is 30% off on Newegg ($130 CAD) right now, so I think I'll jump on it.   Thanks for the help!  

What would I lose if I went with a cheaper sound card?

Could I get help choosing a soundcard for gaming/music to go with my ATH-AD700s? My budget is about $120 or less.   I was thinking about the X-Fi Titanium HD, but I'm not sure.   My motherboard is an ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3, with a 2500k.
