    Sound Blaster Z & Sound Blaster 5.1 Omni: Are they they same?

    I want to get the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms and I'm looking for something to properly drive these.    I'm looking at the Sound Blaster Z and the Sound Blaster 5.1 Omni.   If both are the same product, with a DAC & AMP, then I am leaning towards the external so I could use it with my laptop too.  ...

    Creative Sound Blaster ZXR

    With the card in the title, there's a choice between setting 32-300ohm headphone output and 600ohm headphone output. I think the 600ohm option just adds power. Is there any downside (in terms of quality or potential damage to very efficient headphones) to set the output to 600ohms for all...
