hi, do you guys have any good xtreme music eq setting ? care to share ?
*
You need to adjust EQ by yourself depends on the speaker use....different speaker, different room condition need different EQ setting, so u shouldn't ask people give you the 'good' EQ setting to you...try messing the parameter by yourself...

One more thing, i suggest that you not to use X-FI EQ...instead you should use media player EQ...why i said so? Go HERE...

Nope, i don't even know what is RMAA when i bought the card sweat.gif

If i chose "What You Hear" and run RMAA, the results came out perfect, what is the diff of choosing Line-In & What You Hear ?
*
'What u hear' take digital data before DAC, this test can show how the card perform internally....line-in was taken data from DAC+opamps and ADC again, to test how well the DAC and opamps were...

can i ask sumthin... my xtreme music non heatsink version. should i add a heatsink?

if you didn't experience any system hang, then no problem...

My XtremeMusic got heatsink, but my X-FI sandwich between two TV cards which at top and below, and i experience a lot of system hang, after a few days of troubleshoot, i certified sound card overheat sweat.gif problem solved after i add one 8cm fan to blow that 3 cards...

So, actually the heatsink is useless if no air flow... nod.gif

If the speaker volume not too high, your sound card will not overhead although you listening songs, watching movie or gaming 24/7.

lol, what relate the volume speaker to sound card heat? now the overheat problem is from DSP, not opamps... sweat.gif

I tested before my ZS dead.
I using TT player to listen songs, MX volume at 1.5 - 2 star. After 2 hours, i touch my ZS chipset and the temperature is normal. Then I set my speaker volume to 3.5 - 4. After 30minutes, my ZS chipset temperature changed from normal to hot.

This was my experience during few months ago, i miss my ZS very much...lo
and sorry for my poor English grammar, I will try to use proper English  sweat.gif

i think your ZS was abnormal...thats why it dead eventually...

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..tongue.gif

Probably due to your speaker overheated...

thanks for the explanation bro...that means it makes those mp3 file that are not so clear to bcome clearer right? but how are we supposed to tune the card to the max best setting ar...normally what are the things that u adjust to get better sound quality? hope u don mind to share notworthy.gif
i am on edifier s530d..
erm....tune it down to sound better?  if u dont mind... what are the things that u feel different about when tuning ya?  notworthy.gif

QUOTE(coolkwc @ Mar 29 2008, 06:57 AM)
just depends on the speaker used...below i do a simple test by using RMAA 6.0.6 to compare the Crystallizer function and the EQ and Bass/Treble knob...

1. Frequency Respond Curve between Crystalizer, EQ and Bass/Treble knob...

EQ setting to simulate 50% crystalizer level

Bass 60%/Treble 58% to simulate 50% crystalizer level

So, crystalizer is just the function that can simply simulated by using EQ and Bass/Treble knob...

Do you enable all the EAX , 24-Bit Crystalizer , SVM and EQ ?

If I enable all , isit messed up or ?
I very noob at audio , so sorry cry.gif

Noob, you better change your 'good' speaker before you mess with those features...your speaker using now will spoil all things...Your upcoming speaker consider quite decent.. tongue.gif

I want to try out the titanium driver whether can install on my XtremeMusic or not since the driver support Dolby Digital and DTS....but Creative didn't put the driver in their website, it raise my curiosity about the new driver, i just think that Creative try to hide something from old X-FI users...

yah..
Actually I dont really want to put SVM but.. no coice... some song is just "over" the limit  doh.gif
need to adjust the eq to suit all songs.... sad.gif
yeah, after you said that, I go compare 5021 and 4121....
the frequency produce by 4121 just 25hz-15Khz but 5021 is 30-22Khz....
do frequency a big matter ?

Sorry noob again  sad.gif
*
Please don't compare this two based on the specification, the main problem of VS4121 is the down-firing midrange driver that spoilt the sound totally...change your speaker as soon as possible, for me VS4121 is not qualified to pair with any discrete sound card...

Balance of entire frequency range is more important than wide frequency range alone...
