[chanster]

Hey you asked do u need a special rom to play HDCD content....so there is yo answer....oh sorry 4 the blueray thing then.....you are not a fool

 

[samiram]

Where to get HDCDs? do u have to buy original?

simple..
download them...
but here aren't many to download..
eg- http://www.torrentspy.com/search?query=HDCD&submit.x=0&submit.y=0

they use Lossless Audio Codec's like FLAC.. (http://flac.sourceforge.net/)
to encode them..
the file size is around 25mb per song...
great quality machan...

but when it comes to quality checking..
country and classic music comes first..

We can do lots of things to reduce the heat. like connect a big HEAT sink. and some simple circuts for controll fans automatically.

Thanks for the comment.

But what is ur mobo ?

 

[GTRZ]

wrong.... most of those who already knows the importance of PC audio, they prefer mediocre VGA just to save enough money to get Soundcard.
and all those who are tired from following VGA trends that keeps changing every 3-6 months, most of them will migrate to audio world not so long after.

hehe man you can't replace video/vga with audio. Even if video updates fast still nothing to do about that. You can't replce VGA card with a sound card and say now sound doesn't update fast so i am fine. I am not sure about your brain but normally when some1 need video, they look for video NOT sound. You can't replace one from another.
You may be a big audio fan and VGA not much interest to you. So you pay for sound instead of a good vga. Think you will forced to buy a VGA and use a onboard sound hehe how you feel? Same thing happens to VGA lover so don't think sound is everything and you can replace anything with it if you are not blind over it. Normally people have different tastes so its up to them to choose what they want.

the same problem happens to Jesus.... he got crucified becoz of his love for humans......

all good intention are rarely accepted easily.

hehe another one so you think good sound card like a religion and using a good sound card will choose you will be in heaven or hell after you die? Or depends your level in heaven Anyway bro i know since you are a big sound fan you are telling it like that but its not that huge for others. I am not sure why you guys not understanding the basic idea. People have different tastes and people spend their money on the things they feel. Now a VGA fan cam come here and bash you like hell for using a cheap VGA. Still the same idea.

what happens to those who are willing to be interested? and in need of a guidance?

He has posted lot of details and discussed about them in other threads. Some guys who are still not going to buy an dedicated sound card even after those details, he wanted to impress them somehow about the sound cards. So he came up with this processor usage issue. If anyone wanted any resource about sound there are tons of threads telling about them in Elakiri and even i myself have posted tons of posts about selecting speakers and reviews about sound reproduction etc.. So talking facts about sound and presenting it is one thing. This is totally crazy trying to make an idea like if you don't have a good sound card you are a looser or you are dum heheh.

sorry, i disagree,
even for X-Fi.... using better speaker or audiophile bookshelf speakers will be a complete waste of money.

please do remember that as good as x-fi gets... it is still not an audiophile grade DAC, none of PC soundcards are! therefor... using too expensive bookshelf setup will only make it sound worse.

mark my word.

Altec Lansing MX5021 is NOT bookshelf or expensive speakers. They are 2.1 PC speakers and very much cheaper than logitech z5500 too. But they are amazing when compared to any other PC speaker systems i know. Almost the best sounding 2.1 PC speaker system in the market today. Better than Klipsch promedia, Bose companionz, Creative, Even most of altec lansing's expensive PC speaker models not overall good like mx5021. I am not talking about the output power but real like sound reproduction in all areas low, mid and High.
I know many surround sound spekars but if you forget about surround sound then they are no match. So i am talking about PC speakers here nothing about audiophile expensive speakers.

 

[GTRZ]

Agreed with GTRZ.....bt as 4 Z5500 is a PC sound system....u can only compare it with a PC sound system....the only thing u get here to compete with that is the Creative speakers n altec lancing etc(good quality 1s) there are things like mercury bt i think u get my point....Short n simple Z5500 will destroy any creative including the gigaworks 550.....BUT that is only for movies and games....for slow audiophile music a high end creative system is better.....or at lest i think so.....

Again saying the same to you too bro, I am also talking about PC speakers nothing about bookshelf or floor standings. I am talking about good quality speakers z5500 is lot of power but not quality and not accurate sound reproduction. Even its lot of power its not accurate reproduction. Both in mids and lows. But z5500 has lot of features packed in to it, thats good but at the end of the we want good sound production from it. It cant do that properly thats the case.

You have to have a knowledge to configure a sound card properly.....
btw what media player did u use to test it?
