I dont like bringing drama to forums, but I feel its important for people to know this. ASUS STRIX "True 7.1" are not "True 7.1" like the Tiamat 7.1 or a 7.1 speaker system. The Strix are just multiple drivers using the same 2.0 signal. Meaning its a normal headphone with multiple speakers...

This thread is going to be my answer to the Question "Whats the difference between a Sound Card and a DAC". Feel free to correct me, this is more of a brainstorm. This is important because its leads to the myths that Sound Cards improve PC performance by taking the complete sound process...

I bought the creative and had to return it. I regret returning it. But i feel as if your question is more PCIE vs USB. And if you are a gamer I would chose creative. I will explain to you why and may be wrong. Im no professional, so anyone feel free to correct or disagree. Im still...

Thanks!!! I bought the iDefender 3.0 USB Ground Loop Eliminator with the power supply and was really impressed with results and cant wait to buy more of their products.

I hate these negative replies by audiophiles on every Tiamat Thread. I usually stay silent, but this is like the 8th time I've seen a comment like this in a 20 minute span of research. We are all here for a hobbies and niches. Gaming is a niche in audio. A niche you might not share but a very...

I have the Tiamat 7.1 headset and want to know if the IFI IUSB3.0 or any "clean usb power" unit would add benefit. The Tiamat has a USB plug that is required for operation along with the 5x3.5mm plugs for 7.1. What that USB powers is really my question. If the USB only powers lights and a few...

I got a reply from a vendor - They do have power only ports and sell a Y cable to split data and power. So if I do find problems with the data stuff I can still use the superior power source. Which all that I actually need is a better power source for USB audio. The other stuff is all extra...

I want to buy this product but I am unsure if it adds lag/latency. Im concerned with the "REclock/REgenerate" function. As described on website "The micro iUSB 3.0 re-clocks/re-generates/repeats USB audio datastream". I imagine the that process adds some delay. If it does add a delay is that...

Thanks for the great response, I meant to type it early but started looking at those chairs and got distracted. I ordered some stuff from http://www.bassshakers.com/ for a DIY project.

Yes, that makes sense. Just "on paper" I thought a magnet going back and forth would create more force then the two thin membranes w/ electrostatic. But no because in essence its two things creating the same effect. You really explained it well. Because in reverse speakers far away would...

Its really not the headphones "shaking" with the 650, just the literal vibration needed to make sound. Maybe its because I have big ears that make contact with foam that covers the driver. As far as sound goes, Im ok. So when I asked myself "what more" this is what came to mind. I guess...

So this is kinda an odd ball question. Are there any type of drivers (planar, electrostatic) or headphone design other then the standard Dynamic coil that produce less vibration when producing sound? All 4 of my headphones are dynamic, HD650, AKG k612, and Razor Tiamat 7.1. Due to financial...
