    X-Fi, CMSS3D-Headphone, and distortion

    I'm trying to help out some guy posting on the Creative forums. He says he is using HD555s for gaming, and that CMSS3D-Headphone makes everything muddy and "horrible". My intuition is that the distortion introduced by the DSP is simply more noticible with "audiophile" cans compared to cheaper...

    e2c soft flex sleeves

    All three types of sleeves were included with my new E2Cs. The soft flex variety seem a bit more difficut to get on than the others. I know that the nozzles on the E3C/E4C/E5C are a bit smaller than the E2C AND that soft flex for the the E2C is relatively new. Is it possible that the soft flex...

    e2c case cable spool (and other questions)

    First question: I've heard reports that the integrated spool in the e2c case can result in damage to the cord. How do I remove it? It LOOKS like it is removable, but I'm afraid of braking it... Second question: I bought the e2c primarily to save my ears at the gym and on flights. I have...

She doesn't use the stock earbuds because they don't stay in, so she uses a relatively cheap pair of Sony over-the-head in-the-ear headphones (kind of like this ). I'm thinking it might be better for her to use REAL earphones...

    Dolby Headphone vs CMSS3D-Headphone

    How does line-out on soundcards work with DAC?

    I'm trying to understand how line-out on soundcards works. From what I understand the output signal has a voltage range with a lower and upper bound. The DAC takes a 16-bit (or 24-bit input). Does volume adjustment on the line-out happen in the analog or digital domain? If it happens in the...

    Headphone virtulization for game consoles, TV, and DVD?

    I recently got a pair of ATH-A500s that I have been using for PC gaming. So far I like what I hear! I would like to find some way to use the headphones to get virtual surround in my living room with my Gamecube (Prologic and Prologic II), DVD player, and TV if possible. I don't have a receiver...
