I personally use preset extreme, sound is more detailed, and with more distinct stereo separation in my opinion than with preset standard option.

you have an awful taste! ICQ's "oh-oh" is obviously much better!

Glassman, is it a must even with sensitive phones like er4p? I'd like to buy an amp too, but that's rather out of my budget for now.

ixeo, DevilDog, thanks for the advice! Read the impressions from other users, seems the card is really great, I think I'll order it soon then.

Well, the thing is I listen to PCDP most of the time, computer is used only at nights, and I didn't have a chance to compare with how another soundcard sounds. So that last statement of yours is absolutely right, and THAT's why I asked the question, I just don't know how it can sound...

Right now I'm using on-board ASUS P4PE Soundmax integrated audio, and I was wondering whether it's worth replacing it with a separate sound card at all, as I'm not a sound engineer, just listening to my favourite music & playing games from time to time. Usually I listen to mp3's encoded files...

hackeron, Mr Iriver, thank you shure it'll be then

Well, a comparison of e3c & ex71 gives not too much info on whether er6i or e3c would be better for my ears. I was aware of ex71 muddy sound beforehand anyway, and I didn't expect them to be better than shures. But I would much prefer to know how they stand against grados or porta pros, 'cos i...

Hi everybody, i'm a newbie here! I'm trying to choose a new pair of headphones to use with my portable w/o amp, and i've read a lot of threads about er3c and er-6i, but i still can't get a clear picture. Certainly, the best way to find out for myself, which one is better, would be to hear...
