    Issue with crackling noise

    It does, but I am not sure there is a way to disable it. I can plug the RCA cables from the magni to the rca outputs on the card, but then I don't get 5.1 enhancements. I also don't have any other PCIe slots that I can put it into, because I have two giant strix GTX 980tis that block...

    Issue with crackling noise

    Hey guys, I am trying to figure out the cause of this. I have a Soundblaster ZxR and a Magni amp, with DT770 250ohm model. I am plugging my headphone into the magni and the magni into a rca -> 3.5mm into the headphone jack of the ZxR. I can't use the RCA cables because then I lose out on 5.1...

    Fairly simple question - connecting Soundblaster Z to magni

    Hey all, I am not really good with this audio stuff, but I bought a new computer and it's got a SoundBlaster Z card in it. My old rig had a Sounblaster Titanium HD and I was using the Schiit Magni amp to plug into the red/white connectors to drive my headphones (DT770). Now the new machine...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Isn't that the same thing though? I am just going to get a refund. There's always the chance that the new one will be just as bad. I am going to look around for retail places so if the same thing happens I can just drive there whenever I want rather than have to go through the process of packing...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Hmm, it says Microcenter has 5 in stock but it's about 30 minutes away. Not too bad. I will probably wait until I hear back about my RMA to make sure I get a refund before I do this. At least when I get there I can ask to look at all 5 of the boxes to see when they were manufactured. Can you...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Where do you guys suggest ordering this from for the best chance at getting one without defects? I ordered from Amazon last week but some other company (Beach Audio) or something fulfilled the order. There was a dead pixel right in the middle and some pretty noticeable glowing on all 4 eges. I...

    Skyrim Mods - A Comprehensive List & User Support Thread

    Gotcha, although when I changed the gamma setting in the SkyrimPrefs.ini file it did the same thing, so I dunno.

    Skyrim Mods - A Comprehensive List & User Support Thread

    Quick question... I have since started playing Skyrim again with a bunch of mods installed, but I noticed something about the brightness in the game. I have a couple of mods that probably mess with the lighting of the game (climates of tamriel, enhanced lighting & fx, etc.). I noticed it was...

    Bought new headphones/amp... confused

    I bought the 250 ohm version along with the amp because I thought that it would be a better fit for it. My 80 ohm set is also 4-5 years old so I wanted to replace them. I really like the look and fit of the DT770's so that's kind of why I stuck with them. I was just hoping for the amp to be...

    Bought new headphones/amp... confused

    Hello all, I just purchased a pair of DT770's 250 ohm, along with the Schiit Magni amp. Let me say that I also have a pair of DT770 but the 80 ohm version, which I've been using for 4 years along with my X-fi Titanium HD. I will admit that I am fairly unknowledgable when it comes to this...

    Dark Souls is on Steam

    Surprisingly, I had very little trouble with him, and got him on my second try in NG+ with my Dex build. I am using a Murakumo as well so my armor needs to be fairly light to be able to utilize the Dark Wood Grain Ring at 25% equip load. I don't bother using the pendant and just use the Crest...

    Dark Souls is on Steam

    This is exactly how I felt my first playthrough, though. I spent probably 10-20 tries on the Taurus demon the first time around. I guess it would have taken less time if I did the air attack but wanted to beat him the natural way. Now I have done a few SL1 runs and the thing doesn't even touch...

    Tomb Raider Video Card Performance and IQ Review @ [H]

    Is it normal that I don't get a constant 60 fps at 1920x1200 using 2xSSAA on SLI GTX 670's? I get a constant 60 fps in the benchmark but that really isn't representative of the first area of the game in the forest with the rain, lighting, etc. 4xSSAA runs around 40 fps, so that's out.
