Mike,
So, have you decided not to get the Sennheiser G4me Zero black, nor any other headphone? The STX has a nice DAC, Amp, and headphone output with Dolby Headphone which makes normal stereo headphones sound like virtual surround, very good. It also has a stereo RCA output and an optical output for either stereo or Dolby 5.1 encoded output. The STX is very nice for movies, gaming, and music, if you use headphones or an AV receiver with 5.1 passive speakers.

When you say 5.1 multimedia Edifier speaker system, do you have these?



It looks like the M1550 only has analog inputs, so you wouldn't use digital at all unless you have the S760D system. An analogue 5.1 active speaker system is off topic from this thread; I can tell you that a 5.1 active speaker set + STX is not a well-thought-out system. If you have more questions about that, you will get better help if you post in a thread about soundcards or speakers.

Yes
 
Bose are good brand for speaker system
 
Get Monster cable to hook them up with
 
Ask in camera forum about video cards too - they know Canon make good 35mm film stock for the cinematic feel
 
;;;;
 
Blind test both of the screens too - just remember that your left eye may be a little bit laggy due to the ouzo
 
Good luck in your search for headphones that you don't use because you use multimedia speakers which people told you are good and bad
 
Google translate said sell the Parthenon, buy Beats by Dre

So CAL2 coming after auction next week to my place, what that fostex thing is doing for CAL`1 ? Game Zero went away for 64 pounds, got cal2 for 31, so i think i will be happy with this, i want isolated sound and closed back cans, guess will be at least decent, also cable detachable, could use v-moda boom pro cable maybe? with mic in one cable together. Sound card is Asus d2 7.1, plenty for fps

i have     S760D system. and  tell  me  will my asus stx will work  very well in  my  s760D system;;;
 
because  some people from my country  told me   that  . You can send 5.1 sound via fiber, but this sound will be digitally processing the ara-conversion in analog will take over the sound system and not by your sound card. Basically ie bypassing the asus optical fiber. It is as if there is. And this means a reduction in sound quality. The only bet is the 5.1 sound, but would be allowed to have him onboard and to your audio system, so there is no point asus stx ...
 
 
these thing  some people told me  from my  country  and  they wanted me to sell my asus stx  to them.........
 
look this i want to know if  my asus stx will work very  well in my    S760D system;;;; without to lose quality in sound 
 
and i told  you that i have

How do you guys hook up your X7 to other DAC / Amp? And still get proper SBX surround through Optical?
 
Like let say if i want to do X7 (optical out) -> (some random amp) -> headphone?

I literally have no idea what is going on in this thread. Seems like everything went bat**** crazy in here.

X7 > Optical > DAC > amp
 
Set What U Hear as a default listening device, enable listening and then set output to the S/PDIF output in Windows Sound Panel

How do you guys running a V-moda boom mic or Beyerdynamic COP mic have it connected?
I got the beyerdynamic COP mic and the volume is low,  got 100% on volume and 0% microphone boost.
 
I don't have a pci-e soundcard since i'm using a USB dac/amp for my headphone/audio output and just purchased the beyer cop mic so the microphone is now connected directly to the motherboard right now
.
Lastest audio drivers installed. 
 
any recommendations on pci-e soundcards?  only gonna use it for mic input

You mean the microphone volume when listening to Your own voice? Try setting the microphone boost a little higher. Keep in mind though that it may introduce some distortion.
 
If You're only going to use a card for microphone input why don't You go for a USB interface for the microphone as well?

You don't need stuff that expensive if it's only going to be used for mic input. if You do however want to spend a lot of money on it go for Focusrite Scarlet.

Nice thx man, gonna try that out.  
 
Also, I just figured out with my X7.  If you plugged your X7 into a USB 3.0 port, it will have pop / crack noise.  As soon as I switched to a USB 2.0 port, all the pop static noise are gone.  So if anyone has the pop / crack issue with your X7,
try a USB 2.0 port, or a different usb.

 

[jincuteguy]

I hope the new Creative Sound Blaster X G5 Dac / Amp come out soon so I can compare it to the X7.  
 
Might get Philip X2 also.
 
Also, did anyone replace their Philip X2 earpads?  If so, where can I order a pair?

Martin,
I said that he only has analog inputs IF he doesn't have the $900 TOP OF THE LINE S760D system. I know you were trying to help, but at this point we're just feeding the fire.

I already marked him for Spam.  He was spamming like crazy with non-sense infos and keep asking people the same thing over and over with weird punctuation.  I understand he's Greek or whatever but still.
