F&d f6000 vs.logitech z-5500 ?

[MegaMind]

checked manual , it says "optical s/pdif connector : it provides digital audio out to an external audio system that supports digital optical audio.before using this feature ensure that your audio system provides an optical digital audio in connector !"
so that means I can connect through this port & i won't be needing new soundcard ?

Buddy u can connect it w/o any issues n it'll work w/o any issues...

Still there is diff. between a 2GB 5450 and a 2GB 6950 isnt it?

^^Yeah, Xonar DX is good, but still a THX certified soundcards will be great with Z5500..

Xonar essence STX @ 8k, very good card for its price.

did u find it in the market or online n where??? That s an awesome price..

Oooh prime has it for 8.5k... Damn i'm out of money, but its soooo tempting..

 

[nvrmndryo]

where can i find Xonar essence STX online @ 8k ?

well my budget is 5k so i can afford Asus Xonar DX 7.1 Channel Sound Card sound card, prices .
wil it make huge difference between xonar dx & essence stx ?

 

[MegaMind]

wil it make huge difference between xonar dx & essence stx ?

With that speakers.. Yes u can notice the diff..

 

[nvrmndryo]

heh , ure making this very hard . i mean at one side i want the best output from my speakers & other -> budget problem !
i guess i should start to save money n buy good card i.e.xonar essence stx or creative titanium hd .
I think Creative titanium hd is not released in India .

is it better than xonar essence stx ? it seems thx certified !!

 

[tkin]

Asus Xonar cards are better than creative any day for same price brackets. With 3d audio dead(EAX) creative lost its edge, no use getting it.

 

[nvrmndryo]

alright , Asus Xonar then !!

In that link,
The image displayed is of X-Fi xtremegamer fatal1ty..
The video attached is of X-Fi Titanium..
The specs given are of X-Fi Titanium HD..

I strongly believe they are X-Fi Titanium...
And clearly X-Fi Titanium < Xonar DX...

 

[nvrmndryo]

any other cards than asus & creative ?

 

[MegaMind]

Auzentech, M-audio..

Get Xonar DX on budget constraint OR Xonar essence stx

Hi guys one question whats the difference of sound in dts and dts hd . will it make big difference as i had few bluray ripped HD-MA DTS-HD. i am using my asus o play air. It plays dts and digital no support for hd.

i played full 45gb avatar sing file which is dts-ma but i can see in display of the control pad dts digital. sound is good but still i want to know whats the difference.

I wanted to know is that only A/V receivers has the capability to decode hd audio or any other alternative.

I believe definitely z-5500 cant handle hd at all.

 

[nvrmndryo]

When I was reading about z-5500 lot of people said its not good for music ! is it true ?n y ?

^^For music, a good 2.0 or 2.1 is preferred...
