    So is there *any* card (internal, external, etc) that does Dolby Headphone properly?

    Not the best quality but does the job of testing positioning etc, could be something wrong with the card. Your 650's and tesla will be no problem for this test. My HD 598's don't have any problems. To me the xonar dolby just seems to add reverb, and phasing tricks about it. I personally...

    shure srh 440 vs sennheiser 449 vs razer tiamat 2.2

    If you have a local Guitar Center, magnolia-hifi etc around you really should listen to headphones in person before making a decision. You probably can't go wrong with either set for that price, don't forget to check out the Sony MDR-7506 and Grado SR 60i There all around the same price.

    Xbox 360 headphones

    If you really need a built in mic, Sennheiser PC 360. If you need a closed can the pc 350. The pc 360 will blow just about any headset out there away imo They are basically an HD 595 with a mic. Personally I use the HD 598's with a table mic

    Intel Vs AMD Help!!

    Since power dvd dropped hd-dvd support in 8.0 ultra, you can have 7.1 deluxe for hd-dvd installed at the same time as 8.0 ultra for blu. . Hopefully you won't have to worry about that though if they give you good software with that drive. That cpu with the onboard vid shouldn't have any...

    Non-HD DVD on HD TV

    It's a combo of the dvd player and using s-video issue. Does your dvd player up-convert or just upscale ? First try component cables see if that is acceptable to you. I would look into getting an oppo unpconverting player or toshiba upconverting player (toshiba formerly known as hd-dvd players)
