My Rig, Being striped down soon though it's almost 2 years old now.      

I like Katy perry on my HD650's you can really hear her amazing voice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0BWlvnBmIE

All the problems with the card have now been fixed, Go have another look and play.

I know what EAX does, You get Dolby home theater 4 with most of the Asus cards, Which allows you to turn game mode on which does the same as EAX not only that you can Custom set it to what you want, And Open AL really makes no difference with the level of Audio processors these days, I suggest...

GX 3.0 Game Audio Engine The GX 3.0 game audio engine boosts your performance with better legacy EAX® compatibility and immersive surround sound enhancement. And it really does as well, I'm done with this thread, I'm speaking from personal use of all the cards, All the cards offer an...

Just so you know Creative have problems, You can Boost Foot steps on the Asus cards, Good for CS and BF3, I can pin point people all over the maps with just headphones.   We've been selling Creative products at sale prices as we feel they're phasing out now, I own alot of the Creative Range...

Quote: Laughable Gaming Audio?, The Asus cards are better for Gaming i work at www.overclockers.co.uk We test all our cards on the forum before we sell them and we as well as all the other reviewers say the Asus Xonar Phoebus is the best gaming card, They did have problems with Drivers and...

Quote:   The STX card is far better, They also have much higher Headphone output so low distortion at 128db is very hard to do, I've owned both cards and i feel the STX has good enough DAC and amp to not even bother using my Graham slee Solo amp, The X-FI Titanium HD however sounds...

Quote: Asus xonar phoebus, I've Plugged my Graham Slee amp in also, Makes no difference really to the quality.

I just Bankurpted myself to buy a Pair of HD650's i've only had em 3 hours.. :(

Just Picked up a Second Pair of HD650's for use on the Computer, Really amazed at how well my Asus Sound card powers them, It will do 600Omh's But their too loud even at 25%, Loving my HD650's all over again.   Nat.

I use mine for movies, Why wouldn't you?, For me half the point of the movie is big powerful sound, Crank that Sub style, I find my IE8's amazing for movies with the bass on max.   Nat

I'm with Mark my 16Ohm IEMs sound the same with my E7, But the Triple Fi 10s sound bad from my IPhone, But with the E7 they really sing.   Bargin, But they are still getting ripped to bits and put into customs my ear canals are so tiny.   Nat

Super-Fi and Richer sounds both have sennheiser demo sets, Denon D2000 would be the best bet imo.

I can see dynamic based speakers changing just due to their design and the materials used, It's very simple physics, Take Glass, Glass looks the same all the time, But it's changing all the time Glass never Sets, Because it stays a liquid, Just because we don't see or hear it doesn't mean it's...
