I'm sure their audio solution is fine for 95% of people including 90% of people who say they care about audio. If you don't like it, there are several ways to get full-fat digital audio out from your PC - like an HDMI audio extractor or a USB optical/coax out (which is what I use) Even with a...

I have seen very few obvious aimbots in Apex - we ran in to some this morning. Super accurate shots from the edge of visibility. People who use aimbots should be given capital punishment. In public. If you have not been playing FPS games on a PC vs consoles in the last few years, then you're...

Have you played a recent AAA fps game? People are calling the aim assist in Modern Warfare 2 an "aimbot" 90% of the top pro players in Apex Legends are controller (ie: aim assist) players. Here are actual titles of youtube videos:

It's the only thing that compels me to build my system at the level I build it. Since 1995

To me, the advent of forced crossplay with consoles and heavy aim assist for controller players feels like the beginning of the end of high end pc gaming. The financial incentives are aligned to ensure this trend continues. It's infuriating, but making console plebs feel good is a winning...

The X-4 has a button to swap from Headphones to Line out. I've always liked the X-4 (I could use an optical input) but most of it's features are redundant in my system. https://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-x4

Aspheric lenses ftw.

Well, if you didn't think it sounded good, who's to argue? I have my LS50 Metas on a Parasound Halo Integrated Amp and paired with an SVS Micro 3000 I find them to be very detailed and revealing...

I bought this about 10 days ago and I've been really enjoying it. I find that I do best with the marksman guns - a quick headshot beats the console SMGs/ARs (if you don't miss) Got the revolver and the lever action to gold, should have the lever to Plat by the end of the week. A lot of people...

What dac/amp were you using with the passive LS50s/Metas?

What were you doing to those poor Metas that you were missing details? There is nothing magic about self powered speakers named "studio monitors"

Fast, quiet, cheap - pick 2 I chose fast and silent... (Eight 200mm fans at 340rpm)

It has a lot of potential, especially if they use the input virtualization tech they have on the Ark monitor (which lets you scale inputs and move them around) I think it needs to be more the size of two 32" 4K monitors as the current form factor is too small for me. This would give you the...

Manifest the 3D printed Dragon cable shroud you want to see in the world.

DACs are the new sound cards.
