If this is a bad place to post this, let me know, but frankly, I'd rather see a [H] user who can appreciate this monitor snag this than some lucky idiot. I just saw this posted to ebay... (no, I am not associated with the seller) NEC Multisync LCD2690WUXi 26" 1920x1200 LCD Monitor...

If you're MOSTLY playing games and want the X-Fi compatibility, then stick with your current Creative card. If you are MOSTLY listening to music or movies, then the Asus STX may prove to be better, plus it has an amplifier built into the headphone out port. Just one perspective, wait for a...

AlecMoody, you sir... are [H]ardcore and I look forward to your future exploits.

Are you wanting to set up one card with TOS/COAX to your DAC for headphone listening, and then ANALOG outputs to your speakers for 5.1+ movies and game listening. So that you can just switch output modes in the control panel depending on your task? You could also try USB output to your DAC...

Dont forget a pop filter if you're doing voice work. The little Samson GoMic is surprising clear and sensitive with options for switching directional on the fly and it has a headphone monitor plugin. And its small... http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Compact-USB-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42/ And...

You could keep your setup as is and just get a male to female extension cable... leave the female end up on your desktop/workarea and connect the male end into your STX. That way you can swap headphones on the fly. Or are you saying that you want to swap between headphone and speakers...

Yes, a dedicated "quality" soundcard will give you better digital to analog conversion for analog output to your headphones or speakers. And the drivers and control panel for the sound card will give you more sound control options/effects. Also, a dedicated sound card may take some of the...

FOR MOVIES & MUSIC... I have a quadraphonic surround sound setup from my HT Omega audio card that goes analog front out to M-Audio SBX10 subwoofer, then from there to two M-Audio BX8a front speakers. The HT Omega analog surround goes out to two Swans D1080MKII speakers in the rear. Maybe this...

Heya kur1j, I have Ultrasone HFI-2200, and Pro 650, and Pro 750, and Pro 900. All of them are low impedance and can be used WITHOUT an amplifier. But I have noticed, as cited on head-fi and other forums, that the 750 and 900 do perform better WITH an amplifier (I have Little Dot Mark V solid...

Love the dust filters and multiple fans!

I've got the D1080MKII and they are very good. The D1080MKII08 is a newer version and probably even better. They are bigger than the M10 and as suggested, if you wanted more bass, you can get a subwoofer added later. But given the technically challenged audience, its unlikely she is going to...

As ave0000 noted, you should always have an ambient light on during nighttime computer use where you are working and reading or even playing a game that requires you to read and focus intently on the screen. This is best done by having overhead lights or desk lights, or a light pointed at the...

Agreed, it sounds like you might be experiencing a USB device mounting or unmounting continuously. Computer troubleshooting Step #1, is the computer power cord plugged in? Computer troubleshooting Step #2, if everything else plugged in properly? Check your USB cable to computer connections...
