[...] http://puu.sh/7979O.png One last tip, the HD598s have high impedance so you will need to use the internal amp and set Exciter mode and 8 channel audio on to get the best out of them.

those setting are in the xonar card or some drivers or something ?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=28121&post=488232 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 21:30:16 +0100 Reply by Jwso https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-28121/page-2/?recent=488232#post=487846 Quoted from EmilioEstevez

[...] It turns the onboard amp on/up, which is needed for the 598s because of their high impedance. You should have it on and just use windows volume control if its too loud for you.

Never mind, I figured it out.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=28121&post=487846 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 23:38:03 +0100 Reply by EmilioEstevez https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-28121/page-2/?recent=488232#post=487845 Quoted from jwso

So what does Exciter mode actually do? I noticed it changes the maximum volume, but it makes me have to keep the volume at like 5 or it gets too loud.

They arrived today and the sound is DIVINE. I disabled GX mode and put Exciter mode on, but what is Hi-Fi mode? Also changed the effect from Generic (had a terrible echo on voice) to Padded Cell, but left other settings untouched for now.

Hi-Fi mode will push low and high frequencies through an in-built equalizer.

Oh and if you plan to stream you can't enable GX mode (or smart volume either) or it wont pick up the audio.
