Help on sound card purchase - I'm new to this
Have you looked at the M-Audio Audiophile 2496? I use it for transferring vinyl to digital and I'm very pleased with the results. I don't think there are drivers for Vista though.- TheVinylRipper

Just like free, new USB DAC/amp!
The specs sound pretty good.. What's the signal/noise ratio? And the dynamic range?- TheVinylRipper

First High end Cans purchase need help
A bit "eccentric" eh? More like full on bat guano crazy.. Communication breakdown, Its always the same, I'm having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane! To the OP, be careful dude. That 350Z ain't no Toyota Corolla. As the former owner of many high performance cars from a '62...- TheVinylRipper

My take on things is somewhat different than many here. Do you think someone's first car should be a 350Z? Do you think that a new driver could properly appreciate such a car? Developing an "ear" as an audiophile is not an instantaneous process, it takes time and practice to hear the...- TheVinylRipper

Building a computer for playing, ripping, and burning media.
Make absolutely sure that your power supply has sufficient amperage to run your mobo. I've smoked a mobo before from not having enough amperage capacity in the power supply. If you're going to run Vista, get plenty of ram, Vista is a memory hog and also wants a fairly power processor to run...- TheVinylRipper

Home theater speakers + AKG K701 for my computer

Sorry for this, but: Soundcard reccomendation
Headphone adapters from 1/4 to 3.5mm are readily available and very cheap. Your mobo has 7.1 built in so that shouldn't be a problem. The 1212 has excellent specs on the analog outs, 120 db of dynamic range an 20hz to 20khz +/- .05 db. It also has both coaxial and optical ins and outs...- TheVinylRipper

Dolby Headphone
You may wish to try the AndrewLabs plugin for WinAmp. It is slightly more adjustable than the Dolby Headphone plugin http://www.andrewlabs.com/- TheVinylRipper

For a starter setup how about a Turtle Beach Montego? It has everything you asked for and can be had for fairly cheap. Look it over and get the specs here: http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/.../indetail.aspx You can get Vista drivers from the Turtle Beach website. Buy it here...- TheVinylRipper
