How good are creative drivers? I remember a few years ago they had a bad reputation with their drivers I'm using potplayer and cyberlink powerdvd, both have some virtual surround by software settings, though they dont sound very impressive.

I'm not sure if Fulla 2 provides surround sound for movies, I think its more useful with stereo music.

Hi, Im currently using HD 558 and onboard sound to watch movies on my pc. Im interested in buying an external usb dac amp that can provide positional surround sound for movies, like Dolby headphones and other programs. it has to be external beacuse I dont have any slots for sound cards. Can...

Hi, I have a question I took apart the pads, but I dont know how to install them again.

Thanks for the replies, I will check both alternatives.

Hi, I have an Audio Technica ATH-AD700 connected to the integrated audio of my desktop and watch movies in XBMC.  I tried my Fiio E7 for movies, but couldn't notice a big difference with the integrated audio.  Reading on these forums Id found that the Asus Xonar U3 its a good run for its money...

Sorry for asking, If I buy the FiiO E7 I won't need to buy a sound card like the Asus Xonar Essence? It will by-pass the built-in sound card of the motherboard? Because I'm building a mini-itx system without pci slots.

Hi, I was reading about these custom earbuds, but I couldn't find any info in this forum. Have someone tried the Yurbuds? https://www.yurbuds.com/Default.aspx

I'm not familiar with those, could you recommend me some models below the UDS 100?

I've being using my on board soundcard with my ATH-AD700. In the next weeks im planning to buy a Plasma screen and connect it to my PC through DVI. I need a soundcard mainly to watch movies. I was looking at the prices of the Xonar Essence Stx, but I'm not sure that I will take advante of it...

I was thinking of buying a small pouch like these ones to carry my earphones, mp3 player, usb cables, cellphone charger, etc. Auctiva Image Hosting http://img1.iwascoding.de/1/2009/02/...07D1829906.jpg

I'm currently using my ATH-AD700 at the front panel of the case and the speakers connected to the back panel of the onboard audio. Before my ATH, i used my Koss cans, which came with a volume control at the cable. But the ATH doesn't come with that control and i can't turn off the headphones...

I´m from Peru. Shipping + taxes here are almost like 60% of the price of the product, so buying from Audiocubes is too expensive. That is why i was waiting for someone who can bring the headphones with them. What about ebay? I saw some ATH-AD700 there, and the shipping to Canada is quite...

A friend is traveling to Canada and i want to ask him to buy the ATH-AD700. Could you recommend me some online retaliers from Canada or that ship to Canada?. Thanks.

Can someone post some photos to compare the AT 700 to other objects, for example a mouse, keyboard, a ruler, ...

Someone plz?

I'm going to buy a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-AD700. I'm afraid that those will be too big for my head. Currently i'm using the Koss Pro 35A which i close them to the minimum, but still have some space between the top of my head and the headband. Someone can tell me if the ATH-AD700 can fit...

AD700: USD$: 129 +15 shipping +75 taxes = 219 aprox. Out of my budget.

Hi, i just bought my first "hi-fi" headphones, the Koss Pro 35A (USD $ 31). I was looking for the Portapro and couldn't find them, so i tried the Pro 35A. They really sound amazing for music (i only have mp3s at 192kbps or less :P) and for CS 1.6. But for my taste they have a little high pitched...

1. How much diferences are between ATH-500 and ATH AD900? 2. In general, open cans have better soundstage than closed cans?
