Hey thanks but I actually ended up getting a response from Kingwa with the link. I already updates the firmware and to the new drivers v2. Everything is good now except YouTube in chrome still stops playing with my 15.32 selected. Anyway I don't think they use different via chips for their...

Can someone on here PM me the firmware update tool or send it to my email?  I have tried emailing audio gd but I believe they are on Chinese New Year holiday and wont respond for a while.  Im having issues with my 15.32 in windows 10.  The sound cuts out after a few minutes of playing any audio...

Well so much for being hyped. Just as I was about to order this morning, the shipping to any addresses besides USA is no longer available. As it turns out AKG doesn't want to ship internationally anymore. Even to friggin Canada. I am extremely disappointed they would do this mid campaign. Makes...

Definitely jumping on this. Been waiting forever for K712's to go down in price. This seems to be almost exactly the same performance wise. Should replace my DT770s 250ohm nicely. Ready for open headphones. Been gaming on closed for too long.

In terms of specs, I wouldn't worry about them too much. I highly doubt you'll be using any audio sources that are even 24 bit or higher than 48khz especially if the omni is mostly for gaming. You also won't benefit from the extra bit rate and sampling frequency by just setting windows to that...

This is also misinformation. Your cpu will hardly feel a difference regardless of where the processing is done. Windows audio session api handles the mixing and won't induce much overhead. Nothing a modern cpu won't do with just 1% usage. Lastly, the S/N means nothing with the sbz because the...

I think you are confusing yourself with your question to the rep and also his answer. You asked him if the hardware was the same? Hardware meaning the SPU, the Soundcore3D. Which it is, the processor hasn't changed at all. And given creative R&D costs, it won't for a while, they will continue...

Funny enough, I recently bought an MSI gs70 stealth pro 2 gaming notebook and it came with the sound blaster suite too. I compared it to my z on my main pc and came to the same conclusions you did. I will say though it seems to be done in software due to the lack of a soundcore chip. I actually...

Didn't realize DTS neo worked through analogues too. Never tried this.

Like I said. Digital out options.

Just to clarify you don't need the daughter board to fully utilize the zxr for analogue out functions. The only missing options are related to the digital in and out and line in. I don't think anyone has ever stated the opposite that I have ever seen. I myself used my zxr without a...

Something must have been seriously wrong with your setup as the DAC and line out objectively should sound the same at least(being conservative here) if not much better. Perhaps you just got used to the sound signature of your old card and that's what you prefer. Happens all the time really.

Ya just make sure your motherboard can send it through digital. There should be an option for stereo downmix somewhere.

I second that. I prefer it over everything else.
