    Wireless speakers with apt-X encoding - iPod/iPad compatible

    I wonder if anybody saw this bluetooth speaker in any shop already? Linky: ZiiSound D5 I am rather sceptical about using bluetooth for audio, but the fact it utilizes apt-X codec (so far only used for professional audio and broadcasting - you can check this website for details) might mean it...

    Discrete sound card vs Integrated

    VIA chipsets are not renown for quality. I would rather use that TB card are get a new one from Sound Blaster or Asus, both companies have some decent cards for less than 80 bucks.

    OT: What about nokias e71 and e63? Are these anyhow inferior to blackberries?

    tegra, snapdragon, OMAP3

    Speaking of which, for Zii platform now, would Android be a better choice or the native OS that they supply is the way to go? (Some details here: http://www.zii.com/resource/zm..._TechOverview_1.6.pdf)

    Headset/headphone suggestions

    This headset is meant for "mobile" gamers. It looks great and supposedly sounds decent (hope at least as good as Aurvana Live). USB option bypasses shitty onboard sound. And it seems that you can detach the mic. I used Sennheiser PC150 in the past and they were ok but the ear cups were way too...

    Opinions needed on Sound Blaster Wireless products

    Anyone here used these products and can share if they are easy to set up and how's the audio quality? I think of buying Soundblaster Wireless for iTunes but I dont find any user reviews. Only found handful reviews for Logitech wireless music system but most of these mention problems with iTunes...

    Canon CanoScan LIDE 100

    I'll bump this thread as I am looking for a simple scanner at present and also came across LIDE100. @mindless1 - thanks for great CIS versus CCD explanation. I need the scanner to occasionally scan B&W documents, mainly, so I guess I am OK with CIS type. One thing that worries me is the...

    Need guidance to Online Fax Services

    I read they exist and google returns a few hits - anyone has experience with them? I only need to send and receive a fax once or twice per month so decided to get rid of that fax machine. Anything to be aware of when shopping for this service? Any good recession-friendly(aka free) service...

    5.1 headsets

    CMSS-3D that is on X-Fi cards creates much better surround over headphones compared to Dolby Headphone. Unlike Dolby Headphone it uses something called "elevation filters" which create not just the surround sound from your left to your right but also from "below" to "above" you. I would even...

    Sound card replacement

    Xonar use the same C-Media processing chip as Razer AC-1 does. The one on Xonar D2X is rebranded to AV200 but it is the same chip, so if you are not that happy with the Razer I'd say you might have better luck with a card based on a different chip. X-Fi is one and it is a solid card. Unlike the...

    ALC 889A vs Audigy 2

    ALC 889A is a HD audio codec so use this port. 889A codec is a decent one although onboard audio is always inferior to stand-alone sound cards. I have not seen a comparison between this and audigy, but there is measurable and audible difference between ALC 889A and X-Fi in this roundup at Inside...

    Can Roccat Kave challenge Sennheiser PC 350?

    Surround headphones are gimmicks (how many ears do you have). Two decent quality and good value stereo headsets with removeable/folding mic that I know of are: -Fatal1ty gaming headset ((creative)) -GameCom 377 (plantronics

    Getting A USB Sound Card

    Value depends on how much they cost in Malaysia and how much it means to you. If you have 5.1 speakers only #3 will support them, if this is for stereo #2 seems best value as it comes with handy storage for personal settings, bookmarks or gamesaves or whatever you are into...

    crossover frequency with Vista x64 and X-FI?

    Bass redirection is a feature that mimics analog crossover while DDL is for the digital playback that's why it does not work I guess. It is interesting question though - how to tweak DDL algorithm so that you can set the cut off frequency for LFE...

    Which USB sound card?

    If you are going to use DAC I would go with any budget option. Or use the onboard digital out if it is there.

    Soundcard and Keyboard

    You can easily find threads about best sound cards for games here on AT, most people swear by X-Fi and the drivers were ironed out at this stage. Those who want an alternative to Creative pick one of the Xonar cards - they are not as optimized for gaming but they are decent, too and work fine in...

    Asus Xonar D2X is NOT a gaming card

    It is not first time I hear about crap in games with Xonar. The issue with this card is that they apparently tried and failed to properly reverse-engineer full EAX. If they got a licence for it (the way e.g. Auzentech did) they would not have this problem now but they chose to try to...

    What are currently your most frustrating pieces of useful technology and why ?

    Flash based HD camcorder or Digital Camera?

    I wonder how CG10 compares to Vado HD since that's what seems to give best looking videos for the price so far. Look at that :) http://www.vimeo.com/2348837

    HD camcorder - HF100 vs. ??

    Digital cameras can handle low light pretty well, the biggest difficulty is when you move from a high light to a low light situation. Vado HD seems to handle this pretty well, compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0VBbGJrsgc No experience with HF100 but canon folks tend to know what they...

    Unable to detect X-Fi Titanium

    You said you tried to disable onboard audio in BIOS, but did you actually disable it? It should not show up in the device manager at all... I guess you really have to get another PCI-e card to test the board, maybe there is something wrong with the PCI-e bus.

    Creative Zii "Dual ARM based"

    Just checked if the Zii demo at CES made it onto Youtube and that's what I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk-g6CRB0O8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7a6yvEDwdE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWP3Fo98iok I guess it all now depends how scalable this technology is, what's power...

    Creative - zii & stemcell computing

    Some gadget sites like gizmodo and the likes say it is a new media processor, energy efficient thus "green". You can register for updates on the website you linked to yourself. Good to see new innovations being announced in time for this year CES. Last year CES was so boring.

    curved keyboards?

    Just one note - a personal opinion. I think all these curved / split etc keyboards are nonsense. Sure some people will buy anything but a keyboard should be a standard input device. Once you learn to use one you can use any. The logic behind Logitech's (pun unintended but who cares) and other...

    Best gaming headset?

    If I got a headset with mute button that DOES NOT WORK I would return it immediately. As for the recommendations- if you are ready to spend more look up Sennheiser range, but be warned that their cheaper headsets are not that good and rather uncomfortable. So if you want something good and...

    Creative FATAL1TY 3.5mm

    There are two Fatal1ty headsets USB and the analog one. I assume you mean the analog one because 50 bucks for the USB one would be a steal. I do not have experience with this particular headset but I used other Creative headphones (EP-630 and Aurvana Live) and liked them. If you google...

    Recording studios

    Both macbook and protools are bad value if you are not a pro. Macbooks are bad value in general and I would never buy them with my own money. I have been using one in college and was not converted. Basically there is not a thing that mac is better at then a decent laptop. Sure this is part...

    Dirt Cheap Multi Room Audio

    Actually "dirt cheap multiroom audio" as per subject line - that could be the xdock (for ipod) or xmod (for PC, Mac, or mp3 player) with up to 4 wireless receivers. 50-100 bucks for the transmitter part (xdock or xmod) and about 50 bucks for every receiver. This is high frequency wireless...

    Best computer speakers for the price

    Creative makes some very good value for money speakers. I have used their Inspire 5.1 set for a few years then went for stereo set only once 5.1 setup became too problematic for space / family reasons. Sure there are better speakers that would cost you more, but there are plenty of much worse...

    Report: Asus gets customer thrown in jail

    She was released after 10 months due to insufficient evidence It just seems ASUS made sure that she was kept with no sentence in prison for 10 months. I'd say this might be just a BEGINNING of story to be honest ;)

    Grandfather needs Desktop. What should he get?

    Perhaps this? It's got intel dual core with 1MB L2 cache, comes with 1GB of RAM and relatively big and relatively fast hard drive. Also important: NOT with Vista (learning curve, performance on budget machine etc) See how that stacks up against his current PC? Sure you can buy some cheap mobo...
