    Next step up from AV-710?

    Can't seem to get Asio or KS working even with F2K so I'm thinking of getting another sound card. What would be the next step up? I want to be able to get bit perfect output of 96kHz like the 710, preferably under $100. Thanks.

    Getting the most from the AV710?

    I wanted to ask the pros here if iTunes gets the best performance from the 710 or does Foobar? I know how to configure Foobar and am using the Wolfson DAC so is there really a difference between the players?

    Front panel connections

    I just got a multifunction control panel that has a headphone jack and I was wondering if using it would degrade the sound quality from my AV-710 card? The jack has a cable that runs through and out the back of the case and plugs into the speaker port of the card so its basically an extension...

    Audio splitters any good?

    I've been seeing these splitters that you plug into a jack and there are two female jacks for two headphones and was thinking of using this to split the output from my AV-710 to both my Klipsch speakers and my Sens 497 cans. This a good idea?

    Will this work?

    I was thinking of getting two AV-710 cards in my rig and dedicating one to my home stereo and one to my PC speaker system. Want to use the optical on one card for the home stereo and the Wolfson DAC for my Klipsch system. Would this be possible or is anyone doing this?

    EMU 0404 set up guide?

    I found the graphical guide for the AV-710 extremely helpful and was wondering if there was a guide for the 404. My current card is hooked up to my Klipsch PC speakers and my home stereo which has both a coaxial and optical digital connection. Although it sounds good, I'm thinking the 404 would...

    AV-710 or X-Fi: Which to get?

    The 710 obviously has a huge price advantage here but I wanted to ask if the X-Fi card beats a properly set up 710 by enough of a margin to justify the price. This will be for listening to music on both a home stereo and high quality PC speakers/headphones. Thanks.

    Questions for X-Fi owners

    I'm a little cautious about creative cards given all their software issues in the past and wanted to ask how the new card series compares, better or worse?

    A good 2 piece desktop speaker set?

    After getting such good advice on the Koss KSC 75 headphones, I was hoping to get similar good advice on a 2-piece set of speakers for my PC that wont cost too much.

    KSC75 or E2c?

    Having read all the good reviews of the KSC-75, I'm considering replacing my new E2c's with them. The E's seem real tricky to get a good amount of bass and while I'm not a big bass fan, I do want to hear the lower tones. Should I change up or is there something I'm doing wrong? I've heard people...

    AV-710 and line in recording problems

    I'm curious if anyone can explain why the line in recording for the 710 is so bad. This card was very good for playback but when trying to record audio from cassettes via the line in, it was horrible so I had to return it. Has anyone else had this issue on their card?
