I'm impressed and happy with my purchase
On my quest for more perfect audio I have the following questions.... I dislike messing with audio channel's of my Xonar D2 control center... Its usually left on 8 Channel or 2 Channel...it recommend 2 channel for music and 8 channel for dolby/surround/movies... I can listen to iTunes library etc. just fine either way, but can someone help me to understand audio channel implications for headphones? I have analog out set to headphones now, but 5.1 also works, and my speakers are 5.1 Dolby Headphone sounds nice, a little bit reverb driven for my ears which creates fake space it would seem.
Anyhow... I'm just trying to figure out the best configuration for Channels/Analog out/Dolby Pro Logic/7.1 Virtual/DTS/Dolby Headphone etc. for my set.
I'm going to run IsoTek cd every other day to help improve and speed up burn in. I don't have an amp, and am running the set analog out from sound card. Will try it on my iPod soon.
Also I will have to try speakers control pod headphone out vs. soundcard headphone out... grant you i've been listening to them for like 5minutes, and have yet to try both. Hopefully the sound quality will be the same. So far I've noticed the control pod out sounds good
These are just some initial first impressions.
Thoughts?
