Decided to join in this Superlux boat, wanna hear for myself what all this "fuss" is about Just paid for a unit of HD668B hehe...

Gonna test it out on my modded X-Fi XtremeMusic and soon-to-arrive Samsung Galaxy S (plan to mod with Voodoo Sound to fully unleash its Wolfson WM8994 DAC ). Anyone looking for a good budget sound card can try hunting for a secondhand X-Fi (XtermeMusic or better) and then mod the card like me, cost RM70~RM80 to mod.

Just mod your X-Fi lo, most of the hardware is already pretty good... Downside is crappy opamp I bought a secondhand XtremeMusic for RM90, topup RM80 for the following mods, and now my card rocks
1x AD8066 opamp
3x Panasonic FC-series 470uF 6.3v for CS4382 DAC vfilter, DSP vfilter & +5v supply
1x Panasonic FC-series 100uF 6.3v for -5v supply
4x Panasonic FC-series 22uF 25v for decoupling

As long as can get by next weekend, I'm happy ady

Sound quality wise, it is similar to previous generation X-Fi, just that the Titanium has PCi-E interface, optical in/out, Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect. Btw, stay away from XtermeAudio and other low profile/value versions of X-Fi. For Xonar, look in the Bulk section for OEM cards.

yippie, my hd668b has arrived Gonna try it later after my dinner, in the mean time... I makan bro trio's complimentary mentos first

Now that I have some time, might as well post up pix

For "Desktop" [J. River Media Center -> ASIO -> Modded X-Fi XtremeMusic -> Logitech Z-2300 -> Superlux HD668B]

Headphone stand of Philips SHP895. Stand, adapter, box and manuals are intact, but the headphone dunno mana pi liao The Z-2300's control-pod acts as a volume controller and amp I think, since I won't get any sound if the speakers are not powered.

For "Bedtop" [iPod shuffle -> Superlux HD668B]

Talk about short connections

And finally... Portable! [Modded Samsung Galaxy S Captivate -> Superlux HD668B]

Wolfson WM8994 DAC onboard! Voodoo sound kernel driver v7 with anti-jitter, D/A 128x oversampling and DAC direct enabled

The bass of this baby extends really low and I'm rather impressed at how it could handle deep punches, clarity is admirable but I do find the highs a little bit harsh with one or two of my songs (where female vocals are involved), and that the pads are too shallow for my ears huhu... No complains otherwise, a good value purchase!

Aha... It's good to know my ears are not to be blamed, but thankfully only a few of my songs are affected

Most probably not gonna change, have Fuze but it's too big Besides, the shuffle is so small and light that it virtually adds no weight.

Lol... I was also wondering what you meant by ping and weng haha...
