58x Jubilee and 6xx have the same padding for the head so if you don't like one it will be the same on the other. Massdrop creates drops every few weeks / months so you need to subscribe for the drop to be notified. About the microphone either use modmic or something similar or you need to buy a gaming headset.

What's your goal/setup. Are you trying to run your computer through it speakers or what.

USB from your computer and whats the spdif going to?

https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-E10K-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00LP3AMC2

The FiiO E10K has coaxial and I believe it can pass through DTS and Dolby signals but it can't decode them so it'll have to go into something that can.

from my pc to my avr. kicked out my sound blaster card which did that prior cause the drivers always fucked up which was very annoying (creative drivers were shit 20 years ago and are still today). atm the avr is connected via hdmi, but that makes three connections to my gtx 1070 which prevents it to go into the deepest power state (gpu clock is down fine but the ram doesnt clock down at all which makes a idle usage of 30w instead of 15w and ofc higher temps all the time). before i got my new 1440p 144hz display i succesfully used the nvinspector multi monitor power saver, but with the 144hz it doesnt work properly and produces flickering and stuff on both screens

cant connect the avr to my motherboards hdmi to circumvent the problem cause my xeon has no igpu. mobo has no spdif out, only a two pin internal header which is not working without soldering another 5v line (and i dont have any spdif bracket, thought i had one but havent found it) to the output

long story short: im simply searching for an usb device which offers dts connect or dolby live output via spdif

Waited a long time to get these



Threw on some upgraded Dekoni pads.



Never got into Peachtree Audio until I found someone near had one that was actually in my price range. Class A Headphone AND Speaker amp all in one with a built in DAC. Replaced pretty much all my other devices so I didn't have to have cables all over.

Finally took some time to debug the long boot time with newer BIOS versions. Turns out that if I unplug Creative Sound Blaster Omni 5.1 USB it's booting fast. Already had issues with the audio driver crashing quite often (much less with the built-in Windows driver), but I guess something's broken with it, so I want to replacing it Razz But what? Any (non-Creative preferably) suggestions for a sound card? I'd prefer USB if possible and a remote control would be nice.

I was thinking about 75€ but if there's something really decent that's a bit more that's fine too. If not feasible in USB then PCIe works too as long as there's an audio connector option (the one that you normally plug into the motherboard, but does that even exist on PCIe cards?).

Is it just here or are there very few cards Confused I don't mind stretching the budget but I don't need that much. I don't need a ton of channels/connectors/volume knob/etc. All I'm looking for is 2.1 support (preferably coax but jack is fine, I have splitters), a headphone jack (or support for a motherboard audio connector) and something that provides better quality than onboard Smile
The Omni 5.1 is flawed but it has pretty much the features I need. I didn't know it had a remote control until I received it, even though that's pretty nice. I don't think a lot of other cards have that, but I can buy a another remote separately so that's OK.

The internal cards are so last season anyways. I think EVGA's audio card is probably the very few 'solid ones' out there. Creative might have some new cards as well but I would bother with the drivers and crap they bring to the system.

See if you can get this. Has a remote, supports speakers and headphones and remembers volume for each separately, has subwoofer output. Bluetooth blah blah blah.

Inputs from USB and Optical, not sure if that coax is input or output.

I've had topping's stuff before, it's good shit for what you pay.

Only downside is all functions are only accessible through the remote.

Pretty sure I recommended against creative from the get go lol, their products are hot fucking garbage lol

Depends on what kind of speakers are you using too. Active or Passive?

Hit me up on steam, we'll find you something: https://steamcommunity.com/id/SpykeZ/

No subwoofer support. only line out r/l which would be for if he has active speakers, if he doesn't he's out of luck if he's running passive.

Subwoofer can have routed connectors for main speakers, then you just put it to line out, everything works without dedicated subwoofer out from DAC.
