    Any Sound Cards With True 2.1 Output?

    Quote: Originally Posted by iriverdude What you should do is do the former, send a stereo, full-range signal of the main channels to the sub. What you suggest is specifically what I stated I didn't want to do. The crossover contained in most subwoofer amps isn't very precise. It...

    Any Sound Cards With True 2.1 Output?

    I can't say what the other cards do in surround mode since my interest is in 2.1 only. In my system I'm running a power amp which won't have a pre-out and as I stated in my original post, I don't want to run signals through my subwoofer. I want stereo signal to go straight to the stereo amp...

    Any Sound Cards With True 2.1 Output?

    Seeking an upgrade from my current M-Audio Revolution 7.1, I purchased an HT Omega Claro Plus sound card. Much to my dismay, this card is incapable of true 2.1 output and outputs a separate subwoofer signal only in 4.1, 5.1 or 7.1. Looking at the manuals for the Asus D2 and the Auzentech...

    HT Omega Claro As Upgrade To M-Audio Revo 7.1???

    Unfortunately, I don't have usable access to a PCI express slot on my motherboard. Additionally, I use nearfield monitors and not headphones due to problems with tinnitus. When comparing the Claro+ to the Asus D2, the Claro+ appeared to have fewer problems and better customer reviews than the...

    HT Omega Claro As Upgrade To M-Audio Revo 7.1???

    For several years I have been I have been running a 2.1 system from my M-Audio Revo 7.1 using a B&K Reference 4420 amplifier, Von Schweikert VR1 monitors and a Dayton Titanic subwoofer. Though I game occasionally, sound quality is much more important to me that gaming performance. Lately I...

    Speaker Wire discussion

    If you don't wish to solder, you can also paint the ends with Caig Pro Gold, let it sit awhile and then wipe it off. You will have to reapply periodically but it is an alternative if you have zero DIY skills.

    Is the Aria Corda worth the money?

    I bought mine used for around $385 US and I absolutely love it. I was using an SR-71 as a home amp, but I thought the imaging and the bass of the Aria slightly preferable for my ears, through my HD580's. What really sealed the deal was the crossfeed. I always missed the crossfeed of my old...

    Recommendations For A New Or Used DAC under $300

    I'm looking for an upgrade from my modded "Tushi" 3960. I can use the Tushi or a Sony DVP-S360 as a transport to the DAC. Any thoughts or recommendations? Aragon A2D2? Theta Chroma? I only have about 11" of depth to work with, so I'm not sure the MSB offerings will fit in the space I have to...

    There are Arcam and NAD models out there that are les than 12" deep but, so far, no one has mentioned them. Any particular reason why?

    Seeking Redbook Source W/Punchy Bass & Smooth Highs

    My current source is a modded Toshiba 3960. I'm looking for a used redbook player for under $500 that offers more (and punchy) bass with smooth, extended highs. The player is for my bedroom system, so depth is a factor. Much more than 12" deep will not work. Any thoughts or opinions out there?

    580 or 600

    After much begging and many QTB posts, I was able to snag a pair of HD600 grills for $12.00 each, shipped. While this is more that the $12.00 a pair previously charged by Sennheiser USA, the USA warehouse no longer stocks HD600 grills. They will *GLADLY* sell you HD650 grills for only $37.00...
