Your X-Fi never reach high temp ? Or do you have any fans blowing your card ?

lol, please read back the few post before...i already stated there...

May be that is the reason of my ZS dead...

i got a feeling that overheating might cause very obvious sound degradation. to me, listening to music during hot day is not the same during the cool and quiet night...

maybe it's just me again..

Probably due to your speaker overheated...

No, I don't think its heat related, and the volume control is amusing. I didn't find in any way that the volume control does affect the DSP temperature

Maybe its just you. Well in hot weather we tend to have higher heart rate, sweaty that makes me feels uncomfortable and this will makes a big difference when listening to music. Although transistors and electronics do work better at low temperature, but there is a lot of factor to put in the equation too, unless someone do testing these things

I studied before in physics i guess, everything seems to be louder during night time, don't know what causes it but it is somehow related to the temperature of the air...

Air is denser when cold so soundwaves travel faster when cold, and during night time have lower noise floor than day (depends on places)

Oh ya... Density... Damn i'm getting older, tends to forget what i'd studied

all these physics talk makes me blur d...hahaha...

forget physics, listening music at night is always the most enjoyable moment, regardless whether soundwaves travel faster/slower with denser/less denser air...

@ blessedvillain

good straight to the conclusion. End of story

Well, you started it, as a science student I applied what I studied to whatever you saying. Its not rocket science or anything, more to common sense than anything

oh ya..i started it... u guys talk so much on modding here and there, so i saja wanna divert the topic a bit...

sigh~ me also an electronics/tele major, and yet i dare not mod my xfi or any other electronics hardware that involves my hard earned money. I know the risks of replacing caps and transistors, one small mistakes can cause big catastrophe!!! and then it's all trouble shooting again...

There won't be any unwanted risk if you handle the card with care and be more careful, mod la mod la

maybe i should started looking at modding my old SB live!

by the way, Kucingfight is selling Elite Pro at reasonable price. check it out!!

Why it is always like this? Everytime I've spend my money then the good things come

Nevermind. Elite Pro wasn't that good actually. Those crappy capacitor will let it down anyway

...unless you mod it

woot~ who say elite pro not good!! i like it..!!

That's because you never listen to anything better

Honestly I never listen to how Elite Pro sounds, but I'm worried about crappy Creative drivers if I'm buying it. And why do you hide your speaker....

aiya..kena shot back by you!

ya..about the speakers, I actually bought a new sets of speakers, currently still burning in... but if i still dun like the SQ, I'm going to give it to my brother, no point putting in my siggy at the moment...

ppl says HD2 + AegoM is a very good pair. What about X-Fi? any good pairing recommendation?

Oh I see. It doesn't hurt to tell what kind of speaker you use, may I know it. If not you can PM me

Well, I never heard how Cirrus DAC sounds like so I can't guess what kind of speaker should match it
