    hi guys!

    Sorry that i'm actually starting off again on this topic.Previously i asked about external soundcard attachments....like nuforce ,Fiio ...and read about the Creative X-Fi soundblaster.Because i wanted to get Clear and best audio out of my M15X..and now i got to ask about another product its Steelseries USB soundcard which has got a pretty form factor and 7.1 Virtual surround sound!!

    so, among all these which one's best option?

    Do you have any budget? "Audiophile" or "Professional" grade equipment isn't cheap so idk if that's what you really want (considering you used the word "best" :rolleyes:).

    Also what will you be primarily listening to? Games? Music (what kind)? Movies?

    Do you have previous audio equipment you've liked/disliked?

    Headfi is good yeah ^^

    Just be wary of the subjective terms(ex: warm, colorful) they use to describe sound :p

    There's not much love for perfectly capable headsets over there, but if headphones are what you're looking for then I can think of worse places.

    If it helps any, I use the Beyerdynamic Tesla T1 for PC based audio listening at home. My gaming headsets are the Logitech G35 - which gets way more use than the Tesla.
