    AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

      Consider getting the OEM version of the card or the Omni, which is the same thing, just external.    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1I0QYK/ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EZT7RE4/

      That's a very subjective viewpoint. You're right though, it is emulated surround sound using a stereo source in most cases. The front page will give you a better idea with the demo videos and you can form your own opinion then.

    AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

      From what a few people have said that have tried it, the original Modi wasn't really worth it over using the DAC built into the Z. I don't know how much better the Modi 2 is, but I can't imagine it blowing it away and making it suddenly worth the extra cash.    As for your second question...

      Another possible option is Sound Blaster Omni or Sound Blaster Z fed into a Magni. These both use SBX Pro Studio over Dolby Headphone.

      Forgive me if something changed with the rules and the OP wasn't updated, but shouldn't you not mention that site here?

    Audio-GD NFB-11.32 & NFB-11 (2014) (Delivery & Impression Thread)!!!

    I've done it plenty of times, no issues here on Windows 7.

    The Samson has cardioid pickup as well as omni-directional. It and the Snowball both have a cardioid, cardioid with -10dB, and omni-directional switch. The gain is Windows/Mac OS controlled for both, but there is a firmware tweak for the Snowball to change it to low or high gain.

      The Samson Go-Mic and Blue Snowball are the most recommended on the PC forums I visit. If you wanted to go a little higher, you could grab a Blue Yeti or AT2020.        IIRC it's only a timed exclusive.

      The D03K should also work if you can find it.

      The Omni will output surround through the optical out to your Modi. The connection to the PC is the only thing that is USB on the Omni.

      Are you getting the optical Modi? Stillhart said that he couldn't tell the difference between that and the Sound Blaster Omni's DAC (obviously YMMV). If you were to grab an Omni and use the headphone out to a Magni or better, you could save some cash and have a guaranteed surround sound...

    The AKG K712 Pro Support and Impressions Thread

      Audio-GD NFB-11 or NFB-15 would be great. If you wanted to step up your price range a little, the Compass 2 also has a lot of praise and more input options.
