Thanks for your help.

Thank you. And sorry but just to clarify, the connection between my soundcard (Creative ZxR) and SB2000 will be with a single male stereo RCA, and the connection between the SB2000 and A5 will be a dual male stereo RCA? Currently my connection from Soundblaster to A5 is via dual male stereo...

Thank you - is it also fine to run a RCA from source (ZxR sound card) to the SB 2000? Or are there other types of cables that would provide better performance?

Hi all, Just bought the SB2000 but wondering what's the ideal way to connect it to my A5 speakers for the best quality? Thank you

Hello I currently connect the audio source from the ZxR soundcard RCA output, to the RCA inputs on the A5+. With the recent addition of the KRK 8s sub, what would be the best way to now route this setup to use all these to their best potential? (And with that setup, would some of these...

Does any one know if the DAC in the ZxR is better than the one in the E17? I have both (ZxR for a present), but they both sound incredibly similar (an untrained ear I suppose) and do not know which to give away.

I posted something here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/753523/sound-card-audio-too-loud-can-it-also-influence-sound-quality and I was just wondering what volume (%) do you guys have set in the Sound Blaster Control Panel?   Cheers

I believe I did disable it; fairly certain. Yeah that was what I was going to do, however I thought that would influence the optimal sound quality I could have (at say 100% volume), by under-compensating the volume in order for it to be suitable for both speaker and headphone usage. I suppose...

Hi,   I made the investment in the ZxR soundcard a long while ago, and only have decided to see if there are any solutions to this and/or if this is normal.   I cannot set my Windows volume (which is also controlled or dictated by the ZxR's software volume control as well) to 100%, simply...

With such a huge soundstage with the AD700s, when gaming and positional cues are a focus, does setting the SBX Pro Studio Surround at a high % distort performance? i.e. would 33% be more optimal than 67%?

  I have come from the ST to the ZxR. Music is slightly better on the ST compared to the ZxR before any sort of tweaks. In regards to the virtual surround sound, it is great for me, but depending on your personal tastes, your experiences may vary...\   Both of these cards beats my FiiO E17...

  AH I understand now; sounds logical enough, thank you. Can I ask you in what circumstances would warrant an individual to purchase these stands? I'm currently happy with the sound, but if there's more to give by getting the stands, I would immediately oblige. Any comments?

I am just curious, I am thinking of getting the DS1 stands for my A5s however, does the angle of the stands distort the stereo field? I have heard that angling your speakers up or down, will distort the perceived stereo field. Is this true? If so, should I be looking at something like the Mopad...

A miscellaneous anomaly I found just now is that when playing audio from dictionary.com for a particular word or even Google, the sound is only being output to the left side of my headphones. However, with 'Speakers' selected in the 'Speakers/Headphones/ panel in the Control Panel, the sound is...

  I'm definitely aware of that. I just wanted to use it for its FX features, any ideas on how to use it with another mic option?
