put my bluegears enspire with dts and dd live encoding back into my computer tonight to replace the onboard sound solution on my gigabyte p35 ds4. while the sound with the ds4 onboard sound using it's dts was useable, if you're a movie or tv watcher on your computer and want very good quality sound..you won't get it from onboard sound. even though with both the onboard and my bluegears, you have a dts interactive encoding function for stereo source material, a comparison of the 2 shows a dramatic difference...i won't..and i can't..go back to onboard sound...not without a solid realtime comparison before i commit dollars towards onboard.
on the downside, my new pci-e tuner card killed my onboard network adaptor (hauppauge 1800) it's working great otherwise and pq is excellent..but i had to buy a wireless N adaptor to sit 1 ft away from my router![]()
