Yeah. Razer Surround provides a virtual audio device that simulates surround via software. It will work for all sources (games, movies, music, etc.). I don't own any hardware with Dolby headphone but I would imagine you just need (at most) the driver software to enable the surround function...

See if the 2shared one has what you want: http://www.head-fi.org/t/405417/guide-dolby-headphone-in-mpc-zoom-player/30#post_8971211 I also had this locally, might be newer: http://www51.zippyshare.com/v/192Tjpq3/file.html   Probably still the same steps to get it to work. It's super...

Huh, interesting. Thanks for finding some hard evidence about that. The quirks that I really dislike about Razer Surround are all driver related: (1) it always likes to set itself as the default device, and (2) switching between it and another sound device will sometimes cause stuff to get...

  Well, I can't seem to find any 7.1 content on my computer, so I can't help you there. However, if you haven't already, I do recommend giving Razer Surround a try. I know some people here have been ****ting on it, but personally I think it's alright. Plus it plays 5.1 FLAC content without...

I'm just wary of codec pack installers in general, don't take it too personally :).   That's interesting information. I'm using MPC-HC > ffdshow > Cyberlink Audio Decoder for Dolby Headphone only (the other codecs are not necessary, for me anyway). This works for all formats except...

Quote:   Really? An installer? Anyway, I pulled the claud.sim and DolbyHph.dll from your installer (done in a VM of course) and registered Claud.ax from a PDVD13 Ultra installer. The Dolby headphone option doesn't work at all. Should I be registering more of the files?

After a bit of fiddling around I got the options to work, but MPC-HC won't use it as a filter. It might just be my setup though (I'm using Haali splitter + LAV filters). I've tried blocking LAV Audio and "Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder", but it defaults to the MPC audio decoder.   To get...

Quote:   Yes this. Any HD600 deals? And what's up with all the retailers carrying HD650s, but not HD600s?

Quote: Man, I hope they stock E09Ks too. At this rate I'm going to have to buy it off eBay (a joy being in Canada..).

Quote:   Yeah, I picked up a Crucial M4 128gb (very reliable) during May @ $100. Anything below $1/gb is well worth the performance you get. Boot up time of a few seconds vs. >3 mins.. enough said.

Quote:   If you were already looking to buy it, $40 is loose change compared to the $1k price tag (and the risk of the price jumping back up). A bit like watching USD exchange rates, if you ask me..

Quote:   They isolate pretty well since they're closed headphones. It blocks out people having a conversation outside my room. Don't know about portable use (bus, train, etc.) though.   64 ohms, so very easy to drive. No problems running it directly out of my Clip+, laptop, desktop, etc.

Quote:   Is there anything like this for Sennheisers? Looking to get an HD600 for under $300.. might be extra hard being in Canada and all.

Quote:   DT990 Pros you mean? I'd grab them if they were DT880s...

Quote:   Interesting. The aluminum plating is also slightly raised on the left cup of my HM5s. My left headband doesn't appear to have a different curvature, but the left cup definitely sits a lot looser than the right (it falls out by itself with a bit of gravity). I actually wish the...

How are the HM5 for movies and games? Does the increased sound stage (over M50) help in that regard? I'm thinking of getting the HM5 after reading all the positive reviews..

Ah I see, thanks for the insight. I'm running them thru E5, which is doing nothing in terms of sibilance (at least it doesn't hiss). AMP3 is out of my price range, so I'll just go for a Clip+. It seems like that should resolve the issue.

The phone I'm using is the SE K850, and the files in question are all MP3 320kbps CBR. Yeah, one of the reasons I thought it might not be due to the RE2s was because quite a lot of reviews and users said that there was little sibilance, plus I find it strange that it would suddenly appear over...

Over the past few days I've just began noticing "sound stage" w/ my RE2 (it's been 100 hrs+ now). Right now I'm using my phone as source and the stage sounds tiny, but it's huge (in comparison) with my computer as source. The strange thing I've noticed is that the sibilance has greatly...
