I would like to use one set of headphones to switch between two computers. The closest thing I can find is...

Thanks for the help I am still going to do a little more research (to ensure that the card is not going away) before I pull the trigger.  Windows 8 is expected to be released at the end of this year.  It would really suck if I end up with a paper weight at the end of the year.

Does anyone know the difference between these two?  Which is better for gaming (audio cues for FPS).    Thanks,   Punisher

Thanks.  I just saw that.  It is also available on ebay.  The thing is I am interested in purchasing the Xonar ST + H6 but many respected online retailers are starting to deactivate these products.  History has shown us that driver support usually ends when a product is discontinued.  In...

Does anyone know the status of this item?  Is it available for sale, was it discontinued?  Has it been released?   Thanks,   Punisher

All,   I am looking for the best sound card for gaming and movies.  Doing a little research, using the forum search, I have heard alot about:   1. Azentech Cards such as the Prelude (discontinued), X-FI Home Theater HD and Forte 7.1.  The problem I see here is that their availability is...

Thanks for the replies. Can anyone help me with the following questions: What is the difference between DTS Neo and DH? Will DTS Neo work with headphones and PC games? Does DTS Neo only work on Digital Out or can I use this with an analog connection (such as headphones)? Basically...

bump. Any thoughts?

Yes and No. Astro MixAmp Reading some other posts, Foe-hammer has mentioned that the Mixamp can power the DT880s fine and that an amp will not add anything significant except for more volume. If you play with the game/chat dial on the mixamp you can get additional volume if needed...

I was wondering if there is a sound card that will allow me to get DTS and Dolby through headphones? I know that there are external devices that can do this such as the JVC / Victor SU-DH1 but is there a sound card that can do this? Here are some sound cards that I have been looking at as a...

Quote: Are there any AV Receivers that can do what the Astro Mixamp does? I am also interested in this topic. Does anyone have any recommendations on an AV Reciever that is capable of DH, DTS, etc. and has a built in HP amp? I really like the mixamp but you are limited to DH2...

I have been searching for some time for a gaming (PC, Console) and movie headphones. Based on some research and helpful head-fi members I have decided to purchase the Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones. My problem is that these headphones have a 250ohm impendance so I am looking for an Amp capable of...

Quote: I have the zalman clip mic, and do not like it. I also have the califone neck mic and a boom mic that i made specifically for the DT880's. I just got the modern warfare 2 throat mic and am loving it. Works perfectly for headphones. Saw the MW2 mic and it looks cool but does it...

Quote: FWIR, I would go with the DT880/05 and amp it. Do you suggest a desktop or portable amp? If so, what do you recommend that would not kill my pocket. I am already looking at: DT880 $270 Astro MixAmp $130 Zalman Mic $15 sound card ~$170 (Future) The current plan is to...

Thanks for all the help. I think that I am going to go with the DT880s, mixamp and Zalman mic. I appreciate everyones help. I know that a lot of these topics are repeated constantly throughout the forum and can get annoying for regular forum members, but recommendations are usually all over the...

Thanks for the replies. I really appreciate all of your help. I was starting to seriously consider the AD700 until I got the comment about the A40s. Base was one of my main reasons for returning these in addition to poor audio positioning and price. Looking at the responses I am now leaning...

Bump.

I am returning my A40s. I bought them with the intent to play console games, pc games and watch blu-ray movies off my pc. Here are my pros and cons: -Headset Pros- 1. Confortable open air design that you can use for hours 2. Mic is detachable and crystal clear 3. Good Mid and Highs...

I just wanted to add this information. For some reason I couldn't post it all in the same message (maybe it was too long). Hear are some features that I am looking for: 1. Surround Sound- I am looking for good audio positioning. 2. Good base(punchy, tight). 3. Comfortable to wear and an...

I am trying to find a headset that would work for Gaming (Xbox 360, PS3, PC). My only experience has been with the Astro A40s. I really liked the mixamp because you can connect to anything but the headphones lack base and I could not distinguish directional cues very well. I was really expecting...
