  1. Get a MICCA MB42 stereo speakers with Lepai amp,it might cost you about 80 dollars,as for the headphone go for Tackstar Hi 2050 headphone which is about 40-50 dollars but a reviewer said that it is one of the best headphone under 200 dollars.Micca MB42 stereo speakers with Lepai sound close to my 300 dollar M audio studio monitors trust me it is one of the best value for money stereo speaker in the world. http://www.amazon.com/Micca-MB42-Bookshelf-Speakers-Tweeter/dp/B009IUIV4A http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E7H8GG2/ref=psdc_172563_t2_B009IUIV4A(improved version of Mb42) http://www.amazon.com/Lepai-LP-2020A-Tripath-Class-T-Amplifier/dp/B00C2P61FO/ref=pd_sim_e_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1V026MTNGN71S5ACTX9W http://www.amazon.com/Takstar-Monitor-Headphone-Gaming-Computer/dp/B009PIQUB6/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1415937121&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=tackstar
  2. Check out Tackstar HI 2050 open headphones,you can get it for 40-50 dollars online,it is directly compared to Beyerdynamic 770s and ATH AD 700S.A reviewer said that it is one of the best open headphones undrer 200$ http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Hot-Original-Genuine-Takstar-T-S-hi2050-Hi-Fi-Stereo-Headphones-Open-Dynamic-Music-Headset-Earphone/106916_528130999.html Invest in a good amplifier for the amount of money you saved
  3. Don't buy Logitech Z506,i purchased it before i got introduced to the world of stereo sound.I have never used my z506 ever since i purchased Micca MB42 stereo speakers with Lepai amp.Micca MB42 has 75 watt for each speaker compared to Logitech z506 for 75 watts of z506 for the entire system.Bass,mids and highs of MB42 are on another level compared to Logitech z506.Trust me don't buy Z506 it might sound good for couple of days but MB42 surprises me everytime by the audio quality and bass is just mindblowing for the price.
  4. My pc specs are MSI r9 270x,amd 8350 4ghz,8 gb ram,i get 15-20 fps outdoor and 30 fps indoor in Dreamfall Chapters.My gpu and cpu is working fine.I get 60 fps in Shadow of Mordor at 1080p high settings.
  5. I think it's a bad idea,but your money.You can buy whatever you want.
  6. Xonar u7 7.1 is an external usb soundcard.You connect the soundcard by usb from usb and you are good to go. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Xonar-U7-Sound-Card/dp/B00E7QA9E0
  7. I suggest you get the warranty.If you are looking for a soundcard don't buy the one you mentioned.Go for a soundcard with plenty of good reviews like xonar U7 or xonar dgx.For a gaming headset checkout Linus techtips video reviews.I use non gaming headphone ath m40x.
  8. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-3-5mm-Jack-Audio-Adapter/dp/B0058P0I2C This might fix the issue if your 3.5 mm in of your motherboard is faulty. If that doesn't work invest in a good usb dac,what it does is that it takes audio from your pc by usb and decodes inside it,basically a soundcard but infinitely better. fiio e7,it is a dac mainly for headphones,but since you use a powered speakers 2.1 i guess it will have no problem.
  9. What is your default playback device?Try connecting audio to back panel.If nothing works buy a cheap DAC like fiio D3 you can get it for 20 dollars amazon
  10. Ofcourse it is possible,connect the stereo to amp and connect it to pc by a 3.5 mm to rca cables.
  11. Start both from 0 volume.Increase the volume until you find correct balance.For most of the subwoofer ideal volume is set at the half the point anything over that will be boomy and overpower the speaker sound.Set an ideal volume for speakers and just use the pc volume from then on.
  12. You can't use M50 outside your house,Sennheiser Mommentum is portable but not as comfortable as M50 because it's on ear.You can use the momentums for 1 hour and after that your ears begin to hurt.As for audio quality M50 is the winner,Momentum is not far behind.
  13. It depends on what you want to sound better,a DAC and an amp is a good investment if you own a audiophile stereo or headphones.If you have a logitech surround speakers or a gaming headset go with a soundcard.I personally use a DAC+amp now,i previously used a xonar U7 soundcard but after hearing the audio from DAC+amp,i immediately sold the soundcard.One advantage of a soundcard is that it has a lot of bass which makes it great for movies and games still DAC+AMP combo sound has better overall detail.Just hear a demo from a friend or a shop and see for yourself before you invest.
  14. Any external DAC like Schiit modi,Fiio e10 is better than soundcard internal or external.The difference between Schiit Modi and Asus xonar U7 is night and day.U7 has crap audio quality ideal for cheap 5.1 surround but for real audophile sound you got to go with an external DAC
  15. Can someone help me...screen tearing of Shadow of Mordor has made it unplayable.Vsync is no help.I am running amd 8350 with msi r9 270x
  16. I use M Audio BX5 D2 with Schiit modi DAC,this combo should be heard to be believed,subwoofer depends on your room.
  17. I used Asus Xonar U7 for 6 months,it was amazing at first with dhtv4 after a while music started to sound so flat(artificial) so i upgraded to schiit modi DAC with fiio e11 amp and the difference was absolutely mindblowing,sound quality is so natural with wider soundstage feels like i am in a concert.So if you own a powered speaker and headphone i suggest you buy a DAC.My U7 is in a corner unused for months.
  18. Dolby atmos setup is good,try researching it.
  19. I definitely find Flac files to be better than mp3 with studio monitors but unoticeable with headphones.
  20. Start with micca mb42x speakers with topping tp20 amplifier,if you are going with the headphone get a fiio E7 or E10 DAC+amp with ATH M40X headphone.But if you have the space and environment go for the speakers.Finally you need good music.Play Flac format music files for best quality.
  21. Got it as a gift,finished Gta 5 and i haven't touched it till now.So yeah,it's not worth the money for that money you can buy a budget gaming pc with amd processor
  22. Good enough for ultra 1080p to light 4k gaming and by that you can play all the games released till now,i suggest you get the k version of processor.It will prevent the hassle of upgrading in future
  23. Digital to analog converter meaning computer format converted to actual sound.DAC is buit inside a pc but soundquality is less because of noise from electrical components inside pc.So an external DAC like Fiio e7 is necessary to get good sound.What an external DAC does is it does all the sound processing outside pc so that it is free from noise.Benifit of an external DAC over soundcard is that dac doesn't need any drivers
