@Germanium.. post up a guide please with photos. Your mods sound extraordinary, and I'm sure we'd all love to see how you achieved it. Many thanks.

Not much you can do with that as it is very small& some of my mods take a fair amount of room, a full expansion slot above the ZXR card is used for the metalized film capacitors as they are definitely not small by any stretch of the imagination. I suspect you usb soundcard is bus powered & has only one power supply rail for the analog out & as such can not even be direct coupled as you need 2 power supply rails going to the opamps in order to direct couple. Otherwise you would have at least 1volt if not 2.5 volts at the output. This voltage would cause problems for any amp that does not have an input capacitor.
I've seen some mods done to the Indeed and Bravo amps that add similar components. I would not mind using my Recon3D USB "unshelled" if it sounded capable... honestly I think this one performs lower than my first one.
Pretty sure some USB ports can use 2.5 volts... like an iPad charger, and my Gigabyte motherboard is advertised as having more juice on hand.
It may not be possible... but I'm confident it could at least be made better.
Select stereo speakers from Creative CP, then select 5.1 speakers from Windows CP and tick SBX. If you want to use SBX speaker HRTF that is. If SBX stays on in OpenAL games like Mirror's Edge, it means that you are using Generic Software (which 99% sure is the case unless you have manually edited the config file).
The 2.5 volts D.C. I'm talking of would likely damage any direct coupled amp not to mention any headphone connected to the output. I do not have your unit to be able to look over the circuit & right now can't afford to go buy one just to do that.
No, everything's perfect with setting up the Creative card's ID under device, ALAUDIO etc...just not in Borderlands 2.
How many of you guys use the surround effect in the sound blaster control panel? I have tried it out a few times and I just found that makes the audio sound weird to me.

SBX Pro is sort of the whole reason for buying it. It won't sound good for stereo, only 5.1 sources like games where it provides virtual surround via HRTF processing.
