Santa Cruz, Philips Acoustics Edge 5.1, or GTXP. You'll definately get better opinion 3d sound surge gurus'

The analog output for Live is bad regardless the inputs are muted or not. Creative save a few bucks and opted for cheaper codec which explained the buzzing sound.

Mine does that too, though on different song. It only happens in one or two mp3s out of a thousand songs, so I take it as bad recording.

Santa Cruz probably give you the best sound you ever hear from a mid level consumer soundcard. Just for a comparison, I think the Santa Cruz sound pretty flat when its played without the EQ, while Live sound to me is more to the dull side.

I have tried it before but the result still no where as good as Santa Cruz. I read the Extigy reviews on the Digit-Life and here's what they said about the front channel output quality of recent creative cards. "The Audigy has a powerful operational amplifier to maintain the load when...

what would it sounds like to have 497s drivers in the 590??? Only god knows...

Glad you like yours too. p.s. It's about time that we come up with Team Philips.

deS, have you think of some cool mod for the HP890?? I have cut the plastic headband by 0.5inches for it to fit my small head(vertically) but I havent found a way to strengthen its grip onto my head(horizontally).

In my case, even the most expensive headphone is useless for most of the time. It's so hot here around 36C, and there is no way to avoid sweating if there ain't any air conditioner or a table fan buzzing directly at my face.

Not if you have the 2pin SPDIF cable that connect from the cd digital connector on the cdrom to the soundcard SPDIF.

Thats a good one!

1. You might want to use the Cd Reader plugin. It read the cd digitally so no distortion of any kind. 2. Set winamp priority to highest. 3. Set the buffer of waveout(or directsound, depends on which you use) to 5000ms.

Im interested too in the 2 9V CHA47 Altoids. How long would these usually last (battery life)? OH, anyone care to explain what the 47uF capasitor is all about? is JMT out of town for the time being? My PM status is unread.
