There really isn't.

I don't know about more natural sound -- a badly designed box would have serious comb-filter issues, but the 4070 in specific would only have "general" cancellation issues, which is probably why it's tougher to drive/has a lower sensitivity. I think a transmission line headphone would be a better choice.

I didn't buy any. But it is, by far, the best price I've seen for that sort of thing. Good deal!

Yes, definitely. Won't be any time soon, though. Need to get things like power supply and CPU first, I think. (Unless it goes on sale, in which case I'll temporarily put it into one of my other computers.)

Oh.

See right above your post where it says, "Re: Flight Case?"

Thanks for stimulating the economy!

Okay, that's a bigger display than even I anticipated.

5/5, y'all!

So I'm slowly putting together a computer, and I'm thinking about the soundcard, and I read this blurb in the lastest "Maximum PC" about the Asus Xonar Essence STX, which claims one of the highest SNR (124dB) I've ever seen on a card (yes, yes, I know you can't hear it, whatever) -- anyone familiar with this card or with this line of cards? Looking through NewEgg, they have others that they claim have low noise floor/high SNR (E.G. Asus Xonar DX). Any other recommendations? HT Omega seems to be rated pretty highly over there, too.

You didn't! Did you really?!?!?

I have called this their "difficult sophomore effort".

Thanks for the report!

I like the little Stevie-Wonder-esque head-throwback.

I think it's just that Girl has some neck muscles. Which makes sense, since she's a cyborg.

So the Mytek was meh?

I have that, it's a favorite. And no, I didn't get it particularly cheap -- US$45, IIRC. Keep an eye on this.

Except that the foam in the spare set deteriorates also, you don't have to wear it for the foam rubber pixies (!) to have their way with it.
