Which shop can i get the cheapest price for ZXR right now?

Try sls. Can go around looking. Price should not differ much. Also just to add. If it is more for music can go for thd. If more tpwards gaming or movie try the zxr.

Actually... if you don't own a pair of good speakers, and u listen to like 70% music and 30% gaming, aga aga ard there...

A sub ~ S$150 external soundcard like creative premium HD or Asus xonar U7 is more than enough.

Actually i'm attracted by the ACM cos currently my headphone cable is not long enough to connect it to the onboard sound of my MB, behind my desktop casing. Thus I believe ACM solve my current problem. IF not, will definitely opt for Titanium HD or Xonar Essence STX.. My usage will be more on music honest speaking.

Try Zxr or THD

agree man. these 2 are no.1 and no.2 in rankings for creative.

THD is better value.
Zxr has better head phone amp and fine gold caps.

tia gong THD combine the EMU20K2 and a RISC processor is actually more powerful than just the Soundcore in Zxr.

But so far no one bother to test how much cpu utilization difference will there be in processing EAX5 THX CMSS-3D SBX or doing audio editing.

Then can try Fatality With expansion bay in front.

OR

Get the extension cable for your headphones which is one of the cheapest way to deal with it.

Get the Zxr. Or if you want more for music and don't mind external sound card can give the surround sound 5.1 premium a try.

 

[ragnarok95]

Agree get the ZxR.

Forget about pairing the Aego2 with the surround sound 5.1. If u die die need a DAC from creative get the Digital music premium HD or the asus U7.
