Talk about overkill for gaming haha. What amp you're getting? And why do I have a ffeeling I know the seller. tongue.gif

The audio gd precision 2.
You probably recognize the carpet if you ever go to her audition hall tongue.gif
Highly recommended seller, cheap price and first class service.
Unlike some other seller that sell at malaysia's inflated price and rude (ingame and irl) *cough cough* whistling.gif

Nice setup you have going there. I assume your PC is gonna be kickass as well. thumbup.gif

tongue.gif Well, profits is the name if the game mate. Hence the inflated prices. Congrats on getting that HD800. Hopefully I can get something similar end of this year. rclxms.gif

Haha Im supposed to burn them in but theyve been on my head every waking (and sleeping) moment for past 2 days..
So comfortable you dont notice it on your head after a while and even running out of a puny Xonar U3 from my laptop still is the best headphone ive ever heard..Jumping from Roccat Kave to this is mind blowing..some songs keep giving me goosebumps cool.gif

Once I get the amp and this baby is burned in I wonder how it will sound..

I'll give you a spoiler, it's like the first time you had... you-know-what. brows.gif

Now in all seriousness, the HD800 are sounstage monsters. Put this on with a properly mixed FPS and then with a little bit of practise, I guarantee you that you will be in the top of the leaderboard most of the time.
Otherwise for immersiveness, I bloody love the HD800 for what it is capable with (TH-900 takes the cake on the best presentation of bass in headphones I've ever heard).

Now just don't get stucked up in buying $200 custom cables to replace the ones on the HD800, that'd just be a waste of money.

Haha i've always wondered why people willing to spend money for a good pair..audio bliss is real after all..im planning to stop with the amp and sound blaster zxr for the dsp, no cable hehe..a dac with optical in does sound tempting though tongue.gif

Honestly, the only reason i chose hd800 is for the soundstage..i play alot of battlefield 4 and planning to get titanfall once my pc arrive..

This setup+triple Dell U2414H..a lifelong dream finally achieved thumbup.gif

Wait hold on!

You're gonna do line-out from ZxR > Precision 2 > HD800?
There's a problem here.

The headphone line-out on the ZxR (as well as the entire Z series) has high distortion and channel imbalance, something the RCA line-out does not. However at the same time the ZxR's headphone line out is the one you want to use for SBX as the algorithms for that is different to the SBX afixed to the RCA line out.

You'd want to go optical out from the ZxR (in which case you should just save RM400 and get a Z instead) to an external DAC with optical input then to Precision 2.

I got the zxr used for cheap so its fine.. I didnt know the RCA is different from the built in headphone line-out though, thanks for the heads up! notworthy.gif
Guess it gives me a perfectly good excuse to get that DAC tongue.gif
Hmm whats a good one for around 1.5k?
Im currently eyeing the NFB2 from audio gd but not sure about the optical input but they do custom specs..

Eh? Serious? How about the Creative X-Fi Titanium Professional? I got it second hand but haven't had the chance to test it out yet. Rig still getting modded. I got this one:

Btw bl@ze, you got the ZXR of some Sarawak seller right? That's the only ZXR I could think of being sold cheap. Hahaha. But on the DAC, get the Loki. The Gungnir is above your budget.

Haha damn you are good...you watch the garage sales like a hawk huh...yea i got it from the sarawak seller biggrin.gif
I'm gonna do more research on the gungnir...budgets are...flexible brows.gif

I just looked at the Schiit Modi wondering if I can buy direct from them..the shipping is almost half the price of the DAC zzz....
Anyone bringing it in or doing a bulk?
I want the optical version *drool*
