QUOTE(Joseph Hahn @ Jun 5 2007, 11:01 PM) Well the S750 have some known reliability issues, in which the amp will blow up after a year or so but depends, it can be months or it won't blow up at all. Mine blew up exactly a year and a week after i bought it. there is a new batch had solve the amp issue..... I can't really have it repaired because i'm nowhere near KL, so i borrowed my bro-in-law's speaker for a while until now. Using this Z-5500 for a week already, i think it's as good as the S750, maybe the satellite lack a tweeter but i can't really differentiate the difference. The bass is not boomy at all. And 5.1 is quite enough in my room, 7.1 is too messy and cramped.  Oh and the Z-5500 will auto off if it overheats (which i never faced yet).  Good safety feature i must say. |

when you check the startup setting , there is a lot the Creative software need to load...so like mine only activate the control panel, but if u using a xfi-elite pro even more software load.....

QUOTE(rainingzero @ Jul 13 2007, 10:48 PM) yup, depends on the speaker also. pairing my card with BTII 5.1 before, now using simple speaker only, philips MMS 321. always listen to high quality track, that low quality mp3 files doesn't even exist in my pc.... You using all the philips setup then is will be better normal lo cause aurilium is make for his own speaker use. But so far mine using a headphone for this sound card.  |
