how do You like the sound from that sucker? always been curious

I don't know how to describe it much aside from it sounding "clean" with no distortion. It sounds rather "filled" to my ear? Though it is not "warm" or too cold like the term used by audiophile. It matches with my balanced headphones well. It sounds really great on my electronic like music like this one I am hearing now. It sounds so dope at the guitar solo. For anybody info the soundtrack is from the japanese indie/doujin game touhou, that is a remix cover track of one the music track name "judgement in the sixtieth year" by S.S.H or Saitama Saishuu Heiki. Spend my days listening to doujin games soundtracks by SSH. Thus far the Soundblaster z sounds better than my previous motherboard z97we audio as well as my external dac the fubar.

I also ran this soundcard to power my altec lansing speaker, this soundcard is really loud for both headphones and speaker. The gain is absurd. It drive my speakers so easily. I only need to put the volume at 6% for my headphones. Again no distortion at high volume again I must warn you to slowly adjust the sound slowly especially headphones slowly to avoid bursting eardrums. There are features like surround where it try to mimic the sound in 3D. It sound better than its previous implementation in older xfi creative call cmss 3d. It sound alot less artificial or robotic. The crystaliser also sounds better too and sounds alot less like "adding too much salt into food" unlike the previous one in xfi. It is alot more natural. Crystaliser is a processing algorithm to "restore" details in mp3 audio or any lower bitrate audio. Thus far I leave all the features off unless I wanted to hear my audio in a different way. There are more features that I can't test out like scout mode for games or microphone. Pretty amazing card for what I got for this price of about $70usd.

I bought another piece of "trash" back home looking at 2nd hand markets of people selling their stuff. The only way for me to afford what I want. Wish i buy something faster but i don't have much time and "as well cash too. Well back to the story I got this case. A define nano s you say? No its not! It is an all aluminium jonsbo umx2 atx case. The buyer said that it is not for fussy buyers as the case have been slightly modified aside from it being dirty. That is my lucky day!
As no one wants it and the price is being bought down really low. Haul this 8kg heavy case back home taking the train. Got some looks on the train and someone saying hey nice case not knowing inside the box is a different case. Lol I may have cause tempt some people to get a new case that day just by my the act of bringing this case box back home on my little portable trolley.

Got back home and give the case a good wash with dishwashing soap after unscrewing everything. It looks as good as new! The modification is the cutting out of the fangrill as the previous owner can't fit the psu extension at its original spot. There are some missing screw like the extension cable. Not an issue if I can use zipties. This case is gonna be my AMD Fx build to run legacy xp, match with the amd theme. The aluminum plate is really thick like it almost can take a bullet hit. Bundledthe cable together nicely with tape. Total cost for this case is just about $40 usd. Such a steal for a it original costing at least 4 times that.

That made me look up Mankind Divided. Still €49.99 on Steam, €15 in stores, even the ones that are just legit keys! Seriously, just how much money are publishers and Valve making on Steam?
