Next project, getting a 1920x1080 projector (either DLP or LCD, whichever hits 2 grand UK sterling first), and running an SLId 6800 ultra setup into it :cool: As for screens, most premium screens offer higher gain values than youll usually get from a painted wall, so they reflect more...

Denon 2805 7.1 amp powering 2 floor standing Acoustic Energy EVO 3s, an EVO centre, EVO sub, EVO1s for left right surround and 2 old sony speakers for rear surround. 8foot screen powered by a panasonic ptae500 vid projector. pez

pros and cons please (and answers of Creative in the Cons section wont be acceptable!) I was leaning towards an intel 915 or 925 with HDA until i heard about the SLI Nforce4 with SoundStorm, but now im hearing that that particular board wont be seen until early next year :( Requirements...

EAX is a processing technique that games can call upon to carry out certain reverb effects. Dolby Digital Encoding is a process that takes multichanel audio and encodes it into a format that can be passed along a digital connection to a Dolby Digital Decoder which then sends the signals to a...

Nope, he's not! :cool: Nope again! Everything made use of the Dolby Digital Encoding, you just told a game to do its surround sound processing thing and then the card would encode it so that you could hook it up to a Dolby Digital receiver with 1 simple TOSLINK or coax digital cable. The...

why would he want an audigy 2 when he's got a soundstorm thatll not only output great 5.1 sound via analog but also carry out Dolby Digital Encoding if he wants it? pez

you can say eye-dee, but youll be wrong. its id. Freud believed that the personality or 'psychic apparatus' consists of three parts (which must not be thought of as parts of the brain or in any physical way), the id, the ego and the superego. The id. Although part of the personality...

whats the equivalent of a line level out? pez

1x16 and 1x8... pez

and then theres the new Unreal technology, which is taking a big dump on everything from a great height. looks far better than D3 and HL2. pez

"Now, what I want to see is someone porting the original Doom levels to Doom 3's engine. That would be quite entertaining indeed." I was thinking the same thing. pez

im running on a Panasonic PTAE500 here (also a native 1280x720 res LCD projector, and the Z2s direct competitor), and we set it up last night, with 5.1 sound from an NForce 2 board with Sound Storm. 100inch screen just wow. ill post some pics later. It is disappointing that id...

it does appear as though its a maturation thing, once the codecs and the software side of things get sorted then HDA will be a winner, the hardware spec is pretty sweet. now, if only Intel had a processor that beat the AMD64fx53 for games, id be willing to put money on a 925x mobo today! pez

but your receivers DACS are still processing a compressed signal that originates from your sound card. pez
