Soundblaster AE-5 installed.. HOLY SHIT. Sounds STAGE IS HUGE. Volume is insane. Same tracks where i used to listen at 90+ volume, Now around 45 is so loud i cant stand it.. Mids brought back inline with the rest of the audio. Bass is strong, solid, but not overpowering and muddy like...
The Sound Blaster Z sounds Way more open. Tight Bass, Punchy bass, Very Bright. Bass Boost helps alot. I had to EQ the treble down about 6db. The sibilance is real. Audio is very clean and has amazing detail. Huge sound stage. So large,i find myself looking behind me and scaring myself...
I have a sound blaster Z addin card. I just got the GIGABYTE z370 gaming 7. It has a ESS Saber Dac and a texas instruments amp. Should I use the onboard or use the sound blaster Z add-in card. Driving Beryerdynamic DT990 250ohm headphones.
