    Subwoofer: XLR vs RCA?

    A little while ago I bought a UMC-1, and hooked up my subwoofer using a single RCA cable. Not the Red+White RCA- just the red one. The UMC-1 only has a single RCA or a 3 pin XLR for the subwoofer output.   I don't know if it makes any difference, but I power my sub via a NU3000DSP. It has...

    5.1 speakers vs DH/SC/etc.

    As the title says, I'm curious what people think of a 5.1 speaker system vs headphones using Dolby Headphone, Silent Cinema, etc.   I normally game on my mixamp > Lyr > HE-500, or Titanium HD > Lyr > HE-500 setup (I also have a Buttkicker, lol), but recently something happened. Basically, I...

    ATH-AD1000 for gaming?

    I've been lurking in these forums for a while now and have come to a junction of sorts. A friend of mine got a pair of DT880/250's after lurking here. He uses them with an Astro MixAmp and I have to say they sounded quite a bit better than my Turtle Beach HPX setup. They were comfortable...
