5th gen ipod with rockbox.

why dont you repair the pod? 5/5.5G are the easiest to open/repair. A new battery is like 15$ shipped on ebay. New hard drive is not cheap however, its like 100$ for 80GB but then again its cheaper than buying a 8Gb clip+ with 16GB sd card wich only gives you 24GB. Also, don't forget rockbox...

I'm not using an onboard, I said that I used both onboard and my claro halo XT in the past, right now I game on consoles. I still have the sound card however, tried to sell it in the gear forum without any luck. Well maybe consoles have onboard sound cards anyway

So plain old analog would sound better than using the digitial out with a receiver? Nver heard of this one before but I can't comment on this, if this is true then I was wrong. I will try to find someone with a decent loudspeaker setup...

I'm currently using the astro mixamp with my beyer DT150. I dont own a pc gaming rig anymore because most AAA games nowadays are just console ports and I was tired of video drivers issues with the games I was playing (TF2 and UT3) Valve and blizzard being the only exceptions to this rule as they...

yeah.. send it to your receiver and have 5.1 surround. I used both onboard sound and my claro halo xt for games in the last years and my opinion still stand, if you dont have a 5.1/7.1 speaker setup, dont care about dolby headphone/CMSS-3D and dont care about older games, you dont need a...

It means you can experience 5.1 dolby surround. What do you want more? Did you tried battlefield bad company 2 ? Just how awsome their sound engine is... with reverb and all the fancy audio stuff that back in the days you needed EAX. But you dont need EAX.. so whats left? dolby surround. And...

He never said he wanted to play games from 1998. Even todays onboard audio works just fine for recent games. Theres even some with dolby digital live and onboard optical out so you dont even need a sound card. welcome to 2010.

Just find the cheapest card with dolby digital live and thats it, you dont need anything esle for gaming.

I was just saing that EAX is dead but if you like to play older games that use it ...

Optical means you can experience the dolby digital 5.1 audio tracks. I have the astro mixamp for my 360 and I can tell the difference when I hook it up via optical (dolby digital) vs RCA (Prologic II). Dolby headphone works with either dolby digital or prologic II, the former is 5 discret...

EAX is dead.
