Btw, TS, as C3 user, do you recommend to upgrade the RCA cable? yea, because the speaker cable look fine to me, but the RCA cable is.. well.. cheap.. not like an audio cable at all.
About the sound card, Asus Xonar U1 and Creative 5.1 usb. which one u prefer?
to be honest I don't own a C3 but I do know it's characteristics pretty wellAbout the sound card, Asus Xonar U1 and Creative 5.1 usb. which one u prefer?
there's no need to upgrade the RCA cables... try it out first... the cable isn't really that crappy after all
upgrade the cable only when you got bored of it's sound...
when you do wanna upgrade... try upgrading to very thick gauge wires, if it doesn't satisfy you, upgrade to silver wire)
and for the second question... you don't need a 5.1 soundcard since you're not using a 5.1 speaker system... (and 5.1 speakers are a headache to play with)
so go get the U1

c3 has better bass depth, but lacks the decay if i'm not mistaken. hence the bass sounds dry yet very accurate, more like monitoring kind of bass, not soft nor relaxing
hope this might help a little bit
C3 have pretty tight subwoofer as well...hope this might help a little bit
to get acceptable bass user have to burn-in the subwoofer quite a while
40hz of pure sine wave for 1 hour once a day (make sure the subwoofer is moving at least half a centimeter)
a week of that will do enough exercise for the subwoofer
