I need an alternative to the Creative DDTS-100 decoder, more specifically something internal. The nice thing about the DDTS is that it comes with an audio switch, which I really need, considering I use Zalmans and my surround speakers for games and regular cans for music. Ive looked and havent...

Alright, hear me out here. The Zalmans suck. Music, movies, bass, clarity, they're horrible, but, they freaking rock for games. So, what if you were able to swap the drivers in the Zalmans for better qualtiy ones, like drivers from Sennheiser, Sony, or Beyerdynamic. If any of you have thoughts...
