Don’t talk to me about Sound Blaster . I’m a little disappointed with the Audio HD device I purchased. Every other device has no trouble with the digital output of my Cable box but the Audio HD from Sound Blaster just refuses to play ball. Now perhaps I’m over reacting and perhaps the Sound

Ah I can hear up to 18 K. But I wana see how much difference I can really hear. Thing is I've done it with an LS-14 but of course this isn't as pro as the H6 is. Maybe an LS-100 would be but saddly couldn't get that. On 4/1/2018 2:08 PM, tim cumings wrote: Inmy jhumble opinion, recording at
