    Xonar Unified Drivers - Why/How do they sound better?

    Interesting comments. I just couldn't see the logic in how the drivers could improve the sound. After a few days of listening, I can now safely the say the sound quality is just the same.

    Xonar Unified Drivers - Why/How do they sound better?

    I recently installed these third party drivers for my Xonar D1 just to try them out and I wasn't expecting it, but I'm pretty sure they sound better than the official Asus drivers.   I'm pretty curious though. How is it possible for these drivers to sound better? Cheers!

    Does using Traktor as a sound card make a good set up?

    I was very surprised when switching between my Asus Xonar D1 and Traktor S4 controller. The Traktor S4 DAC just sounded like a muddled mess when I compared it to my Xonar! Overall I'm very disappointed by the S4 DAC - this is a unit that should be capable of driving some of the biggest sound...

    aego m heat issue

    Mine gets warm at the back. Not hot though.   I have the same problem with my volume control. Instead I have the volume rocker half way and control it with my PC instead. (Half way is more than enough volume, and I cannot notice any inbalance at this volume) The problem is my ****ty Asus...

    Audioengine A2 vs Creative Gigaworks T40 Series 2 ?

    I can't speak for the T40's but I tried the Audioengine A2 and I found the bass neither tight or defined. The quantity of bass isn't the problem with these speakers - There is plenty but the quality is poor.   Considering the size of the speakers the sound is still very good though (It's...

    Strange wording in What Hi-Fi review for a Philips BDP-3100 Blu-ray player

      Quote: Wow. Just Wow. I am starting to think the magazine is just one big inside joke.  What Hifi says: " "Reveals new verve and insight, plus more body, depth and punch" It's a shelf. What!!   This kind of thing (and expensive HDMI cables) are just like one big elaborate...

    Strange wording in What Hi-Fi review for a Philips BDP-3100 Blu-ray player

    I knew they had a poor reputation for reviews but I am amazed at how misleading this is.   Who writes this stuff! - "Sound barrier", "the dynamic reach" and "not quite packing the power and scale"

    Strange wording in What Hi-Fi review for a Philips BDP-3100 Blu-ray player

    Just read a review here for this blu-ray player and regarding the audio it says:   "Held back by the sound barrier Sonically it lacks the dynamic reach of the very best around, with U2's 360° at the Rose Bowl Blu-ray, not quite packing the power and scale of rival machines. Stereo music...

    Audioengine 2, not what I expected.

    I got the chance to hear a set of Audioengine A2's myself and was left disappointed especially considering all the praise they get on here.   They are very loud for their size but I found them too bassy and I found that the bass is a bit muddy as well. I much prefer my Aego M which is a 2.1...

    Aego M or Yamaha HS50M (Hi-fi speakers or monitors)

    Yes It's a strange question and maybe not the right forum either but worth a try!   Basically I need a set of speakers for my DJ setup. I use Traktor Pro 2 hooked up to a Traktor S4.   Ideally I want an accurate sound so this is why I am considering a decent set of monitors.   From...

    Confused! Sennheiser HD280 or HD238

    managed to snag a set of HD238 for cheap will give them both a go now... Biggest problem with the HD238 though is the cable length... 1 metre I won't be getting a headphone amp anytime soon, it seems a bit much really? My other alternative btw was a set of Sennheiser HD-25...

    Confused! Sennheiser HD280 or HD238

    Thank you for your help and advice applaudio. Yes sorry i meant sony ex-82 earphones. Really i just want the best headphones for my money. I would have expected a huge improvement from the hd280's over the px100 considering the average price for hd280's is about £80 and the px100 is about...

    Confused! Sennheiser HD280 or HD238

    hi all I've just purchased a set of Sennheiser hd280 but i've just been having a browse on these forums and all i can see is negative feedback about the hd280s! I listen to a lot of house/dance/electro music and apparently these 'lack bass'. Is it really that bad???? At the moment I use...
