Nah, I took a look @ the page Dallasstar posted; looks interesting, but kinda doesn't fit my needs

Anyway, I doubt it'll be available to us any time soon...

I wonder if Turtle Beach is going to release this too???

well, that DTS decode sounds very cool

. If I ever buy a 4.1 or 5.1 or above, I'll definitely be checking that out cuz DTS supposedly sounds better than DD51 (and it'll give me an excuse to buy movies

)

It def. sounds better; probably cuz of its variable bitrate... The sound's clearer and more effectful...

Just don't understand why Creative has fixed bitrate now. Before Live they haven't had it.
