Thanks sir you saved my bum.  ordered from jds :)

   Well my issue is I play a lot of games, and would like to use the amp yet retain dolby headphone surround which from my understanding is not possible.  I face a large issue right now since  for an amp I have only around 150 to spend, have no need for a portable, and the objective2 seems to be...

   Sorry but I am pretty much new to the world of headphones.  Recently I purchased DT990's and HE-400's.  I looked around at basic amps to get me buy before deciding what direction I wanted to go and I noticed the overly bloated price these days of premade O2's (My older older one crapped out...

HT Omega - Claro halo ( To bad i no longer use headphones ) Any how the cards came time to "play around" with them . And you couldnt be more right obo. Not just with the cards but in general . The constant "socket" changes which in some cases arent even needed . My q6600 which to be honest...

Not sure if this was discussed , I just had gotten a d2x and a claro + I am going to compare them and do a review. Upon looking for drivers ( The hdmi card by asus most of us know about now ) I found this on HTomega's site. HT Omega - Claro halo

If you have not ordered yet wait a couple days , I just ordered a omega ht claro plus . Even though I like the burr brown on the d2x . I did have a fair amount of driver issues with it. Did not like the idea how it requires additional power and had no front i/o port ( I use the front i/o ports...
