    Review and Measurements of Sound BlasterX AE-5

    @Fers66 :) that is correct. No hardware Dolby or DTS support on the AE-5. :cool: but if your using the right software that can be bypassed. ;) but that does take extra steps, and sometimes sketchy places online...

    Review and Measurements of Sound BlasterX AE-5

    ^ this guy is correct. if your using spdif for just music listening and youtube videos don't buy the thing. BUT, if you want fine tuning to channels, sound effects, bass boost, crystalizer, eq, and so on get the card. It should be noted that this thing doesn't support DOLBY AUDIO SUPPORT. might...

    March Audio P502 Stereo Amplifier Measurements

    All in all this thread has been kinda sad. People bashing march employee for looking into issues and trying to cover it up. He seems like he is genuine to me. Grounding issues are super minor on this thing, it's not a big red flag kinda like "well thats not super good." Doubt anyone could spot...

    NHT Pro M-00 Powered Monitor Review

    HAHA!! my friend actually owns a pair similar to these. I knew something was up with the sound. It's not that they sound bad at all but now i know it was the high lows. It's almost like you say in the article, they sound like they get sucked out of the spectrum. I still like them though.

    Announcement: ASR Will Be Measuring Speakers!

    Hmm. They have a series of speakers that are classified as reference. It would be interesting to see whether that holds up. I havent been able to see any reviews online with definitive evidence backing these clames. Just a bunch of people saying that they are amazing, and what artists "intended"...

    Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC and Streamer Review

    Very impressive unit. Anyone with enough money for the thing won't be disappointed. Basically as perfect as it gets for a dac. This is to the point where you would be unable as a human to hear any noise or any inconsistancies in dynamic range. :) now if only it was 300 dollars. hehe

    advice on dac/amp/phono options from Schiit

    Hmm if you wanted to you could use your sound card as a dac into a competent amplifier. But there may be a ton of noise coming out of that... your motherboard might say 120snr but the noise floor will be very very high, meaning you could hear it out of the phones. happened with my supposed...

    THD for headphones. What is it?

    Thanks so much guys :) I think I am getting it! I like the science behind all this audio stuff. Acoustics class in college was my passion, but It really had just to do with creating good ported enclosures for speakers. It would shock people how hard it is to make a good closed speaker system...

    THD for headphones. What is it?

    I see people online talking about the hd650's having some legendary <0.05 THD number. What does that mean in practice terms? Sorry its hard to understand what total harmonic distortion means from a listenable stand point. I have a degree in physics, but I am very new to audio. Also what is an...

    Review and Measurements of Sound BlasterX AE-5

    So I own this sound card and I really don't need anything more for my hd650's. They seem to have fixed every issue with the software before I got mine. Never had any issues so far. I can't hear any distortion as well even while playing csgo at 500 fps and bhopping with music playing very low in...
