QUOTE(Viperion @ Jul 7 2010, 08:14 PM) Well if you mean the internal audio cards handles SPDIF signals then I need to check but I bet it can. However there are no standard SPDIF ports in this unit. Trust me, the information provided in this model is abysmal. I can find more information in this thread than all the instruction, warranty, etc. manuals they provided  Added on July 7, 2010, 8:16 pmThanks for the translation, I'm a yellow banana, LOL! Can speak but cannot read and write  Here's the screen shot of the support of spdif capable in my current asus z99jr.
Picture says it all.

The Razer Megalodon is totally out of my budget. That's why I choose Roccat Kave. However, some of the people out there said that 7.1 surround sound (Razer Megalodon) is kinda gimmick thing.

Oh yea guys, forgot to mention that one of the toughest thing (in terms of aesthetic value) I have to deal with is the "conservation" of the speaker grill mesh from the "pollution" of minute dust from going into the small crevices of the speaker grill mesh.

Intel Core i7-840QM has a faster clocked CPU than Intel Core i7-720QM. If you plan to upgrade it, my advice is a NO. Not worth it IMHO.

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion Which CPU is equipped inside the Sager N9285 ? In terms of GPU performance, GTX480 will pawn 5870. Nevertheless, GTX480 consumes more power and thus will be "hotter".

I can't fully utilize the 5.1 surround sound of my Roccat Kave as I have no external sound card installed yet.

Your budget is really high dude . . .  You can upgrade your HDD to SSD.

Maybe I can invest on USB powered external sound card on my next target. This post has been edited by Jeffrey1987: Jul 7 2010, 10:09 PM
