i have try my non branded DVD player to play CD's/mp3's & output to z-5500, the coaxial cable sound more loud & more bass, & the optical cable sound softer, clear & sharper but less bass ( both cable same standard setting on the z-5500 ).
so far have not reached the 50% volume yet, so power !

hey guys 1 general question...will it be good if my z5500 paired with the x-fi fatality ??? any suggestions ? yea of course will play on both coax for music n optical for movies but any place or recomendation for optical ?? still havent got that yet haha

x-fi + z5500...will b the best combo for gaming and movies...music? too boomy for me...
coaxial - digital music...u can get a good external DAC for it if u wan,else jz stick to optical...no need branded optical cables for z5500, normal ones will do...
optical - movie (dts)

analog...no comment

lolz thanks but any idea where to get the optical cables, wat i mean is those reliable wan worried use half way u know la haha coz i am not from kl n this week planing to get the sound card togeather with the optical

all tai kor...since we can't get z5450 in Malaysia, what is the next brand for 5.1 wireless system? my budget around rm1000-1500...

Thanks.

u can easily find optical cable in electrical shops...some where arn RM30+
u dun need to spend on x-fi fatality,unless the 2-3 fps increase is so important for u

anyway,at that budget u can consider among all soundcards in the market(not those studio/professional ones)

guys,

just recently my Z5400 keeps on shutting down itself after starting it for awhile.

i start it up, then it will give this 'boom' effect due to like sudden lost of power, the redlights comes back in an instant and it remains in that standby mode.

i dun think its my power source problem as i've a lightlamp attach together on the same power source and the light doesnt flickers at all during when the speaker goes 'boom' and standby.

could it be the fuse problem? or i need to send it back for warranty claim?

kindly advice. TQ

hey sifu's haha got 1 prob i am using fatality with z5500 just with coax connection at the moment i realised that the surround sound from the card doesnt play the rear side ler wat i am trying to say is when i am doin the THX setup console i press the rear right the front right sounded i double check dy my connections on the speakers are gd so izzit me or the card or the coax ??? gosh hope nothin scary


guys i just found out that the speaker wizard setting cant detect the rear speakers n the sub as well ler the driver redirected them as in rear right to front right n sub to the center now all my sound like ROJAK la darn

digital depends on ur source...if ur source is dolby/dts only will make use of all the satelites...for normal mp3/video files, u'll jz hav the front speakers to sound bcoz their output is in stereo...u can try stereo x 2 or dolby on the z5500's decoder if u wan all of them to sound...

get a dvd 9 wif dts to test it out,it'll wet ur pants... i.e black hawk down,LOTR,Hero...etc those action movies

black hawk dwn, LOTR hahaha got original bro hmm but didnt thought of them yet thought the setting got problem then i was thinking getting the optical cable to test out as well darn it, even direct lagi worse can only hear front to side channel the rest no sound f#*k

You can try Creative Gigaworks ProGamer G550W which is probably around RM1500 or RM1600.You can get it at All IT in LYP.

Guys, just wanna share. The last time i was asking about the speaker stand sold in ikea can be used with our 5500 or not..

Answer is yes. It look a bit DIY lar.. but it still can fit. Im using it now. Will post a pic if anyone needs to know step by step.

control panel -> audioHQ -> device control -> decoder...choose SPDIF

if u did that,then wat software player u using??
assuming PowerDVD, configuration -> audio -> speaker environment choose "Use spdif"

after settled ur player configuration...at ur dvd title menu under audio choose DTS...if its dts output,ur z5500 decoder will hav a "dts" on the left side

haha ! i bought 2 pair at ikea yesterday after i finished my trip to MAtta fair ! last night managed to DIY one pair for rear speaker use! very cheap and value for money cause now the price is $59 only instead of $79 per pair. but i think not many unit left ! i just use the stand to screw mount it to a small 5' x 4' board and screw mount the speaker on the board ! very neat and easy!

any pic for the stand?
din connect my rear speakers bcos i dun hav any stands...
sad

calm down bro... its normal with coax or optical connection,
if u want to hear the sound coming out from all of ur speaker then u hv to switch to "direct"..
