so who mants the HDA x-plosion then? :D

[james.miller]

lossless full rate 1.5mb/sec DTS encoding. Most dvd's are only encoded @ 750kb/sec or so.

 

[spm_uk]

james you from Houghton Regis?

 

[james.miller]

i am, yes. unfortunately are you gonna tell me im not the only person who isn't a car stealing chav from houghton regis? (please )

 

[mattross]

Wow, only just bought a Mystique and now I want to replace it already! DTS on my Hi-Fi will be awesome!

X-Plosion:

# Swappable dual DIP type OPAMP controlled preamp circuit (4pcs output control OPAMP IC with DIY socket, 2pcs MIC input control OPAMP IC with DIY socket)
# Max 2.8Vrms full swing analog output gain by unique preamp circuit / incredible powerfull analog output, improve dynamic range / SNR
# Proper OPAMP control circuit (+8V, -8V dual power supply circuit) for high quality audio quality, prevent audio distortion at high volume level
# Package content: HDA X-PLOSION 7.1 DTS Connect Audio Card / MPC to MPC(2pin-2pin) CD S/PDIF audio cable / TOSLINK fiber optic digital cable / installation CD / warranty card / owner's manual

X-Raider:

# Onboard front panel audio (FP_Audio) connector allows you to connect to the front panel audio and is compliant with Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design Guide and Adopts BlueGears HDA's unique FP_Audio enhancement circuit design.
# Package content: HDA X-RAIDER 7.1 DTS Connect Audio Card / MPC to MPC(2pin-2pin) CD S/PDIF audio cable / installation CD / warranty card / owner's manual


Seems the X-Plosion will be the better and more expensive version, the X-Raider being a budget card.

Hey, lol, im from Luton but went to school at Northfields in houghton

 

[james.miller]

i feel sorry for you. i went there as well lol

Checking on Bluegears USA site, they do not have a UK outlet, OC's is no longer showing, you may have to buy from Germany if Gibbo don't do business with them anymore.

 

[Mekrel]

I wouldn'y buy one anyway, driver support is worse than creative :x

"we release driver very very very soon, honest!"

Ye chiz.

 

[james.miller]

driver support is better than creative lol. And while the x64 drivers arent up to scratch, almost everything else wrong with x32 support can be sorted by the user.

 

[Phil99]

Plus it's not full of bloatware

Slightly off subject but how did you manage to type mants and not wants, m is nowhere near m!!!

Curious to know what remedies there might be for the mic boost problem which is my main bugbear with the Mystique. Every time I reboot I have to turn the mic boost off and then back on for it to even remotely work in TS. Even then I can only use my Gamevoice headset that has a long enough mic boom to shove half way down my throat. I bought a Logitech Premium Stereo Headset and because the mic boom is somewhat stunted, my voice is not picked up by teamspeak. Needless to say this is very frustrating as I cannot use the headset.

TIA

This seems kool, gonna ADD it to my Christmas list, so is OCuk doing a january SALE then.

 

[Phil99]

I don't THINK so, there's NO reason FOR them to DO a january SALE really.

 

[The IPB]
