Quote: OpenAL mostly (especially for Vista). Creative's HRTF is fine with me, and again going from 128+ source objects to 5.1 sound and them downmixing to binaural doesn't seems to be a good idea. Direct transformation (3D sound objects -> binaural audio) seems more reasonable. Basically...- NovemberZulu

Quote: Thanks for the link, this look interesting. I am OK with wires behind my desk, so only headphones are a problem. As for convenience vs quality, the funny fact is that all the wireless phones with a digital input have Dolby decoder etc. instead of just stereo. I mean my SB/video...- NovemberZulu

Quote: Isn't Clip+ a MP3 player? Battery etc. is not a problem, the choice is :) My source a (relatively) new gaming desktop (SB is X-fi Fatal1ty). I want something wireless with digital input and digital transmission, so I was thinking about Pioneer DIR800c, Sony DS6000 and Sony...- NovemberZulu

Quote: This is going even more farther from headphones, but OK :) BT2.0 is 3Mb/s in theory. More than 2Mb/s in practice. That's twice more than one needs for uncompressed 16 48 stereo. And _original_ 802.11 is not really Wi-Fi (802.11 legacy was released around 1997, Wi-Fi Alliance...- NovemberZulu

Quote: That was exactly my point :) Since the transmission is digital, its quality does not depend on the carrier (as long as losses are not too high). 200KB/s is somewhat less that 1mbit/sec, that is bandwidth of (ancient) fast infrared and original 802.11. As for digital, I tonally...- NovemberZulu

Quote: I just want to avoid that digital to analog to digital conversion. After all, uncompressed 16bit/48kHz stereo is about 200KByte/sec, anything can do that.- NovemberZulu

Quote: RS180 do not have digital input (no optical for sure, and manual never mentions SPDIF. Also digital RF should have the same quality as IR (i.e. defined by codec).- NovemberZulu

Hello everyone! I want to by wireless headphones for gaming mostly. I have X-Fi Fatal1ty in my desktop, so my idea is something with digital input and digital transmissions (i.e. no unnecessary digital-analog-digital conversion). Dolby etc is not really important -- input is going to be...- NovemberZulu
