Thank you Roy, no worries really. I've ordered a Creative Sound Blaster Z online for 79$ and I'm waiting to see how it performs. I should have it around the 10th of July. If you guys have tricks you think I should know about that particular card or any sound card in general please let me know.

No worries Roy, thanks a lot for your help. I'll try and see if I can get one sub-100 if not I'll get the Xonar Phoebus.

Okay great. But you did mentioned that it could be acquired for cheap. What I found here in Canada is minimum 300$... For that price I'd rather get a Xonar Phoebus. What kind of price should I expect?

Thank you Roy. I've heard great things about this card but the two complains I had was the windows 8.1 compatibility and the really bad drivers. I've you had any problems? And what Ok version are you using?

Well thanks, I guess the only thing remaining is deciding wether to go for it or not.

Wow I'm at a loss... I'll be gaming a lot on these so gaming performance is really imnportant. But I still want great audio quality. And of course I don't want to pay for nothing, I want a considerable and remarquable upgrade from my onboard soundcard....

Okay well thank you very much, I'll check them out! I just want to be sure that spending money will yield me results.

Okay. Do you think I'd be worth it for my particular headphones?

Hey guys, So I've recently got my hands on the Razer Kraken Forged. I know they're not fan-favourite but I actually quite like them. I'm looking to get the most out of them for video editing, music listening and gaming. I've been reading about it and it seems that a Soundcard would be best...

Wow I've used SRS Audio Ensentials and wow I got the sound I wanted ! But ! The volume lever decreases immensely while it is active and I can't seem to be able to do anything about that.... 

Okay, thank you I'll look into it right now. I,ve messed with my Foobar2000's EQ a bit and it helped a lot.

Well actually it just sounds like cans. Weird, the sound is good but just sounds....compressed... I guess that is what makes the sound unpleasant.

Is there a EQ that will work for everything ? Like music but also games and videos ?

Hey all,   So I've got a pair of headphones here that I like but I know you're gonna hate: The Razer Kraken Forged Edition. I'm not loking for reviews, just for tips.   So I know these are really really not audiophile-grade headphones, but still experts agree to say that it is a decent pair...

Hey Guys ! So I've decided to get myself the Razer Kraken Forged Edition, knowing that they are not a audiophile-grade pair but still very capable. Now, I'll be using them at homw on my desktop and also a huge lot traveling with my laptop. So I've been wondering what soundcard I could carry...

I love that Shiit.   Serioulsy thogh, I'm at a loss: First of all, I can't get the SoundMagic HP100 in Canada for a competitive price. Second of all, I don't know if I'll need an amp considering I'll be using it while traveling. The Shiit Stack really looks attractive but I'll need to plug the...

Thank you, they do look good. Honestly, I'm really thinking about getting the SoundMagic HP100 but I can't find them in Canada... Any ideas? Also, Maybe I'd look into small audio AMPs for the Laptop I'll be using them with... Any suggestion for under 100$

Wow I must say these SoundMagic HP100 sure do sound great (no pun intended). And for 200$,it really might be the winner here... Well thank you really much guys, never thought I'd get so much support. Okay so if you guys have any other suggestions or know a bit about the SoundMagic HP100 please...

Interesting! Thank you!

Thanks M x3! So I might sound dumb but are the Audio Technica ATH-M50s relatively comparable to the Momentum? Because I've heard great things about the ATH and I think I would be more comfortable paying an average of 200$. To be honest, I don't think I'm ready to spend 300$ unless they are...

What about the Sennheiser Momentum Over Ear?

Thank you very very much, I'll check all of those out! :)

Hi jodgey4 and Thanks! I'd be willing to drop 300$ on them, but if something cheaper fits my needs then great

Hey folks, I'm new here, my name is Dash. I'm doing studies in multimedia here in Canada and I've been looking for some great cans. I'd like them to be fairly portable, good isolation if possible, solid, really really great sounding with good but not overwhelming bass and stable mids and...
