1. There is no mod. I have both. First the standard U7 works with the echelon software.but when it is fully recognized after some time you need to reinstall the software to try it again, so forget it.
2. You might want to try the U1 with your laptop. You will be surprised how good it sounds. And it has the complete Dolby Headphone functionality On board.

If you mean the active speakers, sure why not.

hi i have a stupid question cuz ive been banging my head all around the internet over a week now to get some new cans <i already have hd 215s which are pretty nice> i wanted a sound upgrade so im planing to purchase a gaming headset which is 7.1<vengeance 1500s which will be a technological bump aswell as they are usb instead of a 3.5 jack>  which will help me over games <not that much> movies and music. And now im getting confused that shall i go for the new headphone and let go of my hd 215s or keep my hd 215s and get an xonar u7? will there be a significant change in the audio? my current laptop is asus k55vm-sx086d

The SPDIF is chinch coaxial, not optical. Don't use it, so I don't know whichever cable you need, sorry.

7.1 headphones have lots of small drivers. All from a arguable quality. You'd better stick with stereo headphones and use a proper surround simulation from either Asus or Creative. The overall sound quality is much better. The ultimate can for gaming is the AKG K701/702/Q701 and their successors combined with Asus Xonar sporting Dolby Headphone or the Creative SBX PRO STUDIO solution.

Hi guys,
 
I am going to buy a pair of headsets (probably takstar HI2050/Pro80 or something like that) and I am as well considering to buy a Xonar U7 since I am going to use the headphones mostly with the computer and i just have the ****ty onboard card from my GA-H97M-3DH. Considering this, which advantages have the U7 comparing to some dedicated DAC/AMP such us TCG-USkin or something like that?
 
Thanks in advance!

the cans are nice but xonar u7 id suggest go with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD its cheaper aswell as better sounding of the both tho ergonomically dosent makes any huge difference just cuz of the placement of volume knob is a bit convenient. and if u can test it at any of the stores that would be an awesome thing. 
and take a look at this video

can this sound card power the Beyerdynamics dt990-PRO 250ohm?

 

[Jaeger 77]

I guess not because U7 is advertised for only 150 ohm impedance.
