I remember the time then creative stop software update after Win XP and how many time i spend with X-fi HD on Win 7 untill i find Daniel X-Fi Support Pack. That was amazing time)

And i dont get about G6. How can i connect 2x RCA (krk rp5g3)from my speakers in 1 line out? Feel myself stupid :D
THis X7 review most epic review ever
And thx for "Dedicated Source Components"!

Those are the powered version yes? You just need a 3.5mm to RCA cable. Also called a Y-cable.

How hard is it..brain gonna blow up!
I think i safe money and buy some good desktop dac amp for next year. Can some1 tell any good solutions for desktop dac amp? About +-400 euro. With rca, headphones, opt for ps4 and usb for pc ofc =) something like SMSL M6 but better, coz looks like no reason swap Ti HD for this, only different cable management.
At least i get AKG 712pro this year =)
Audio-GD NFB-11.28

When you install the NFB-11.28, you can sell off the Ti-HD.

Like this? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FJEWGA6EMF6XXJZ5TFXE
And if i use optical line out for speakers, i still have optical line in for PS4? COrrect?)
Powered version? If u mean active speakers then i think yes ) this http://www.krksys.com/Studio-Monitors/ROKIT-5-G3

Yes those Amazon cables would work.

I don't know what you mean by optical line out for speakers, optical is a digital connection. Basically you would connect the PS4 to the G6 with an optical cable, plug your headphones into the G6, and use the line out on the back with the Y adapter out to your speakers.

One big limitation I should point out with the G6 though is you need to have it connected to a PC to configure it. Once configured and you have updated it to the latest firmware and software you can unplug it from the PC and it will save those settings. But you need a PC to configure it which is annoying if you want to change things frequently. This is not an issue if your PS4and PC are next to each other. The X7 has a phone app and does not have this limitation.

Exactly. It's a "mini-toslink" port so it accepts analog 3.5mm or optical. (Toslink=optical). The line out port is the same.

I think it comes with the necessary mini-toslink connector but if not, this adapter is all you need.

So i hope you swap NFBs not becouse they broken?) I rly like how it looks, full alluminium, solid box. With tons of things inside (i dont know what exactly), not empty box! Rly solid!

I cant find how much power they can give in speakers in watts, cant find it here http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/NFN1128/NFB1128EN_Specs.htm or im rly dumb, pls help! I ask coz i have rly rly old old Soviet Radiotechniks from my father left. I find some Fixed output: 2.5V RMS, but i dont get wat is it even is google, cant total understand.

Hi Guys.

First post here.

Got my Sound Blaster X G6, AKG K702s and Mod Mic today. Hooked up to PS4.

Just 2 questions.

1. Linear PCM, Dolby bitstream or DTS bitstream for PS4 output?

2. Any way to disable sidetone all together but still have mic working? Hate sound of my voice im my own ears lol.

P.s. thanks for the Guide Mad Lust helped make my choices easier!!


Cheers. Z

I guess your question is, can you set the FiiO E12 to high gain (16 setting) and not damage the DT770 Pro 80-Ohm headphones.
No, it will not damage the headphones.
