    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

    Are there any differences depending on when these were made, is the serial number important and what does it tell me?

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Hello, can somebody using a Xonar soundcard's S/PDIF out to an external DAC test if HeSuVi carries over? Any theories on whether it should carry it or not?

    Creative Sound blasterX AE-5 vs DAC?

    Thank you. Then it would actually make sense to buy the cheapest possible 7.1 sound card with Optical out and use it with HeSuVi software, right?

    Audio-gd NFB-28

    I'm looking for a setup with great soundstage and separation, light bass. I'm now thinking about HD 800 with balanced cable and NFB-28.38. Am I going in the right direction?

    Creative Sound blasterX AE-5 vs DAC?

    How much does a sound card matter when connected via optical out to a DAC? How does the 7.1 transfer between these components, does it not get lost somewhere somehow?

    I've just gotten back into CS:GO with my Q701 and X-Fi Titanium HD. What settings give the best sound positioning atm? 5.1 in options, CMSS-3D, snd_legacy_surround 1 and using ALchemy to restore DirectSound3D Stereo headphones in options and CMSS-3D Stereo headphones (HRTF) in options and no...

      Weird, I got no sound with those drivers. Everything seemed to work fine, just no sound.   Anyway, most official W10 Creative drivers are out. The only way I got it working was installing these, then installing Daniel's support pack to get Console launcher etc. working. Daniel said version...

    Has anybody here managed to get their Titanium HD fully working on Windows 10? I've tried Daniel K's unofficial support pack 3.3 and 3.4, but neither work for me. They install everything and all seems to be working just fine without errors, there's just no sound.

    Hello everybody!   I own Creative X-Fi Titanium HD and AKG Q701 headphones. I've always enjoyed good sound positioning in FPS games, but there hasn't been much in years. I really liked BF2's Ultra-high mode and played a mod for it up until a few months ago. Since then I switched to CS:GO and...

    Q701, HE-400, D5000 and Matrix M-Stage?

    Hello,   I currently own AKG Q701, HiFiman HE-400 and should become an owner of Denon D5000 soon. And so, it's finally time to upgrade from my 2 portable amps to a full-sized amp.   After reading a bunch of reviews and comparisons my favourite is the Matrix M-Stage HPA-2. It offers superb...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

      You're probably right. The HE-400 seem to be great overall headphones and I do enjoy them. When buying I thought they'd be superb as EDC cans as well, but I'm just too bass hungry unfortunately.   Does anybody happen to know of cheaper Fostex TH-900 sounding headphones? Those seem to be...

    **Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**

    Hi guys, I've owned the HE-400 since Christmas and I've been kind of disappointed by its sound so far. Mainly the bass just isn't as great as most reviews have been pointing out. My current setup is FLAC, computer with Creative Titanium HD into Headstage Arrow 12 HE. I usually find myself...

    Thanks to Schiit for refunding my shipping costs.

      You're right, my initial feedback might have been a bit too much about the shipping costs instead of the amp itself. I hope you now understnd that my real problem was not recieving a fully working unit, not the costs associeted with that (although those were obviously an isse as well, nobody...

      No, I'm not from the US, I am from EU. When I said that: "After 3 weeks I finally got the amp," I meant that I was excited to get it - just a week before my new HiFiman HE-400 arrived and I was really excited to try out the combo. I'm sure you can understand that. You're right, I was...
