Klipsch makes some of the best PC speakers money can buy, but they are still PC speakers, and you can buy better unamplified ones for the same price. It probably doesn't have the highest quality DACs, but you don't have the highest quality speakers either. That's their nature.įirst off, I think the sound quality on the Creative decoder will be sufficient for your purposes. People are trying to help in their own way, but they're not here to be your personal concierge. Esspeically for the money I paid for them. When people diss computer branded speakers I can understand comeing from Logitech Z-5500's or similar but the Klipsch are good. The Klipsch Promedia's are also not that bad. I just A) dont have the space B) dont have the time to research what I want C) have the money to completely change it out. That's not to say I wouldn't want a dedicated receiver with some good speakers on my computer. That's why I am hesitant on that decoder I linked in my last post as nothing there really screams out high SQ. Though I did notice a difference between the elite pro and lower X-Fi's so I don't want to buy something that is going to give me less SQ then the elite pro did. seriously don't get me started on that crap.Īlso mentioned I was perfectly happy with what I had. I absolutly HATE dsp effects and surround sound over 2.1. I like being able to fade in my PS3 with whatever is going on with my computer.ĥ. However with a external decoder then I can have the gaming performance and better the quality theoretically.Ĥ. I am a hardcore gamer and onboard is killing me for the performance loss right now. For the money the Klipsch Promedia is hard to beat (cost me ~$300 CND so around $200-250 USD).ģ.

I dont have a lot of room for a full setup with receiver and speakers around my computer as can be seen by the pics.Ģ.
#DOBLY DTS DECODER MOVIE#
I already stated once I get a house of my own I will have a dedicated home entertainment setup for movie watching and listening to music.ġ. I knew I was going to get a response like this. It seems like the only card that does what I want it to do is the Elite Pro SB0550.
#DOBLY DTS DECODER UPGRADE#
I am not prepared to upgrade the speakers at this time either. I want to stick with a gaming sound card for the performance benefit (can see as much as 50fps improvement in wow). its just creatives BS and this decoding thing that is screwing it up. I was perfectly happy with my setup the way it was. So I was thinking of getting a X-fi titanium fatal1ty and something like but i question its audio output quality compared to the elite pro and I can't actually find it anywhere (havent looked hard). As its some russion programmer who did it so I cant even read the website just know enough to download the hacked.
#DOBLY DTS DECODER DRIVER#
Now there is a driver hack that makes them work but I don't want to trust that will be around for long. Īnd I tried it and it doesn't decode dolby/dts. I have tried to obtain a new X-Fi SB0550 but after a month of back and forth with a seller on ebay I now have a Fatal1ty something or another with a SB0550 sticker on it (which is dumb because the box looked sealed and straight from creative). Now the Elite Pro's on the shelf are SB055A which doesnt decode Dolby/DTS see this list However while using my computer PSU to power a R/C car charger (I know I am an idiot) I fried the Elite Pro. PS3 is on the BenQ on the left so I can watch blu-ray movies and play any game with surround sound and the X-Fi would decode it properly. I also have my PS3 hooked up via optical to the SPDIF in on the back of the elite pro break out box. Though I got some B&W speaker stands last week with my logitech X-680 sitting on them. This is my gaming rig but I listen to a lot of music and watch movies on it as well as I haven't gotten my own house yet to start doing up my real system. Was useing X-Fi Elite Pro with my Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1's.
