Quote: Yeah, I have tried other things in it and they're all working. I even tried the converter elsewhere. If you're asking if the step down converter has power I have no idea. I have no way of measuring it and there are no visual signs to show it has power. But the main socket definitely has

Quote: I'm not good with electronics so I wouldn't know what to be replacing, although when I took off the cover and looked at the board nothing seemed to be broken visually or blown/burned out 

So I got a Magni last week and was a bit derpy when I bought it not realising it would come with an American plug (I'm in Ireland so same 3 prong plug as UK) and I ordered a step down voltage converter online for it. While I was waiting for it to arrive I decided to try an adapter that doesn't...

Quote: Ordered a Magni and it should be here next week :D Stoked. Even if it doesn't sound much different (I hope it will) it will be nice to have an amp I don't need to charge anyway. thanks for the reply too 

God I feel dumb. Thanks guys, and thanks for not laughing lol

So I have an Asus Xonar DX soundcard and had an E11 from FiiO as my amp, but I wanted a stronger amp and one that didn't need to be charged all the time. So I heard lots of great things about the schiit magni and ordered one. BUT I was looking at images of it and wondered how I hooked up the DX...

I have a set of DT 990 pro 250 ohm headphones and right now I have them set up with a Asus Xonar DX soundcard and a FiiO E11 portable amp but I don't think the FiiO gives enough power to them or I am missing a bit of oomph in them. Now it could be just the headphones not being what I desire but...

Quote: Just realised when I change the "Audio channels" setting to 8 or 6 it changes the computer control panel too so that's handy :)

Quote: When I change the settings like that in the sound card panel should I also be changing to 5.1/7.1 in the main computer control panel too under sound settings?

Quote: Naw I have the DH mode right for my ears, that much I know :P everything else sounds too empty and too much reverb. I like a more muted or dampened sound. Seems to sound more natural. What does GX do exactly? 

Ok so with my new headphones I'm trying to figure out the best way to set them up for the most immersive sounding experience so I would like some help. What should I set my control panel sound to? just stereo? Also what should be my settings in my Xonar DX audio centre? here is a pic for...

Quote: I love these. I think more games should try utilise stuff like this more. It's very convincing. Imagine a horror game with perfect binaural recording and you walk down a hall and something touches you shoulder or whispers in your ear, would really freak you out

I have no idea how the DT990s produce such low deep bass for an open set, and the soundstage in them is amazing. There have been times when playing that I was stunned at how far out the sound went. It wasn't all inside my head but surrounded me quite well. 

Quote: Yeah I was used to the TV speakers for a while and didn't care but when I started messing with 7.1 headsets and a crappy real 5.1 speaker setup I realised the positional cues weren't as good as I was expecting. They still do the job and I know if a guy walks behind me etc. but it's...

Quote: Holy crap that sounded awesome.That bass is killer, Such a great track to try out my new HPs

Quote: Can't say I've noticed that now but then again I wasn't looking for it so next time I jump in I will hear for it. What I noticed about explosions is they always originate from behind me. apart from the initial burst like a grenade or something big rumbling explosions in the distance...

Quote: Maybe not but it doesn't really matter in other games. BF3 is the only game where I have had the problem I mentioned. Guys above and below you sound like they are right beside you

Quote: Yeah it's disheartening that BF3 has some of the best audio around but bad positioning. all around at ear level is fine but it's when things are below and above you it falls apart. Like being on a roof and having a tank in the building, a guy fired an RPG at it and I thought he was...

Just got my DT 990s in the mail today and my God. I have never had a proper pair of headphones before for anything and these are blowing my mind. Granted I have barely anything to compare to but these are awesome and worth every penny. Music is so forceful now  I'm still trying to figure out...

Quote: Yeah they're really cool and you think "wait... did this actually happen?" they're very convincing. Also they have another game along with containment breach where you walk down an endless flight of stairs and strange things start happening and get worse and worse. Short and sort of...

Quote: Yeah I wrote it above. It's awesome. Needs a lot of work still but the concept is really really clever and hasn't been done in a game. It can really freak you out at times but they need a creature redesign. 

Quote: They already confirmed that they will be making it I think for next gen :D

Quote: If you have a decent soundcard it should have dolby headphone and do virtual surround anyway. 

I couldn't play for crap if I had music on. I need to know where everything is and how far away it is to stay on top form
