    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    Thanks I'll give those settings a try. Btw, do you know if these settings for 5.1 Windows are correct?

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    I've seen a couple of people here talk about R6: Siege and I was wondering what all settings you guys are using? Strangely enough, I found that I'm able to locate sounds more accurately with SBX surround off as well as all the other options off (but still set to 5.1 in windows) with my Q701 on...

    Creative Sound Blaster X7 - Detailed Review & Impressions

    I was wondering if there are any high quality dynamic microphones that would work with the X7 if I were to use an XLR to 3.5mm cable? I think the X7 provides 5V phantom power from what I've read but I'm unsure if any dynamic mic exists that 5V would be sufficient for...

    MLE what are your thoughts on the mids of the X2? I love the Q701 because of it's sparkly mids/treble perhaps even more so than for its soundstage. I've tried the DT 990 before which is more of a V-shaped sound and prefer the Q701 to that. Is the X2 V-shaped too? Are the mids recessed?   Thanks!

      Thanks I already have the E17 + E9 combo so I was just wondering if it would be worth upgrading to the Schitt combo, but it sounds like from what you're saying that it wouldn't really be a noticeable upgrade and in some aspects can be considered a downgrade.   Do you know the cheapest...

    MLE how would you compare the E17+E9 combo to the Modi+Magni combo with the Q701s?

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Thanks for answering all my questions and repped. Can't wait to try it!   Does anyone know if this would be plug and play for Mac or Linux as well, or is there a driver provided for it? That's one of the main reasons for getting this, so I will have a high quality DAC that would work across...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Thanks that's good to know. So just to clarify, I'm only connecting a USB cable to my computer -- nothing else? And what about drivers, is it plug and play or do I need to install some drivers before it starts working?

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    That sounds awesome. So what about my current sound card? I have a X-Fi Titanium HD but if this E17 can replace it then I will just sell it.   Right now I have RCA Cables going from my sound card to the E9. When I get the E17, I should just plug it into the E9, and then have the E17's USB...

    FiiO E17 "ALPEN" - First Impression + Final Thought

    Can I use this E17 with my E9 amp or do I need the E09k?   I kind of ordered this without researching because I got it for a good price, but I was hoping someone can give me a run down on how this would work with my E9 amp? Like how would I connect it and do I need to install any drivers or...

    Q701 impressions thread

    Does anyone have the Q701 paried with the E9? I will be getting my Q701 tomorrow, can't wait to try them. I'm wondering if anyone could do me a favor and compare the Q701 with high-gain vs low-gain on the Fiio E9 to see which one sounds better.

    I recently upgraded from the HD595 to DT990 Premium / 600 ohm, and I'm loving it. The bass is simply astounding. I find the DT990 just as comfortable if not a little more so. I'd say if you're looking for something more energetic and fun, go with the DT 990. Otherwise the Q701 would probably be...

    I wouldn't judge the positional qualities of your setup from blacks op 2 alone. I find that the game is terrible for sound whoring (at least without perks). I've been knifed in the back quite a few times in this game since I can't hear them coming behind me unless they're shooting or something...

    No problem. I ran into that issue as well and forgot exactly how I fixed it. I am using a custom driver with my Titanium HD though, maybe that's why. You can find more info on it here: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/pax-drivers/ It always made it better for me with cheaper headphones. But I...

    CMSS-3D in headphone mode can reduce the soundstage in higher-end headphones. The workaround to resolve this issue is to set it to 2.1 speakers instead of headphones, and enable CMSS-3D in the X-Fi control panel. Then set it to 5.1 in windows audio settings. Finally, browse to...

    http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SRH1440-Professional-Headphones-Black/dp/B0073P4ESO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top What do you think about those MLE? One of the reviews compared the DT 990, AKG 701, and HD650 and liked these the best, claiming he finally found a can that does it all for him. I could...

    Yeah I knew it was bright going in. I was just messing around with my sound card control panel and tried disabling X-Fi crystalizer. It's much better now :) Mad did you use high gain or low gain when you had your E9? I heard high gain may introduce some distortion but I'm not sure. Also...

    DT990 / 600 ohms came in! Wow the bass...just incredible. Only issue is it's a little too bright for me on some songs, to the point where it's a bit grating. Hoping my ears can adjust because this bass is just amazing. Using it with my E9 amp on low gain (high gain sounds good but makes it even...
