Howdy.. I recently stumbled upon these forums in an effort to find
out what was wrong with my sennheiser hd600s. After 4 loving years
the sound on the right had completely vanished... thankfully a simple
stock cable replacement fixed that right up.
Sadly, without much perusing, I foolishly upgraded from my old sblive
plat to the audigy 2 zs plat. If only I had spent a little more time
researching I perhaps would have gone the route of the emu 1212m.
Anyhow I looked through a few pages of threads but I was really
wondering what I could do to improve my sound quality. My set up is
something like the aforementioned devil card, hd600s and an old
headroom home amp.
I've read that the DACs on the audigy 2 are not great.. so perhaps
eventually investing in an external DAC would help shore that up?
Are there any settings or things I can do interanlly to improve things?
I picked up foobar2000 and am resampling to 48,000 etc.
Anyways, thanks in advance. I probably will have around 300-400 to
spend in the near future, so I'll budget fixes around there. I probably
will keep the audigy 2 as I do game a lot.
