Montego vs the X-Mystique?

[P_1]

Debate no more, I have modded the X-mystique drivers to work for the Montego, they both give absolutely the same performance. DDL can now be had for only 73 bucks.

That`s same performance for twice less money !

Great job

Or not twice less damn CAD. But anyway good Audiocard OCing

Here are some things to keep in mind about these DDL cards:
First of all if you guys have a 5.1 setup(optical) there is absolutely no difference in terms of performance or sound outputted by the montego or the xmystique.

Secondly again if you guys have a 5.1 setup(optical) then these cards should blow the xifi away in terms of price, performance, and sound quality. The reason for this is that all these cards do is encode the audio signal to Dolby and sends it to your receiver to do the audio processing. The receivers will deliver much much better sound quality then the xifi and argueably most sound cards.

Lastly the x-mystique on first look, looks beefier with tons of more caps, however these caps are for the many op amps on board to amplify the analog signal. There are approximately 6 op amps that will amplify the analog channels. This is absolutely useless if you have a 5.1 setup optically connected or coax(using an adapter on the montego that is).

Hope this clears up any questions there are.


Also I just uploaded the 64bit modded drivers, I have not tested them yet but they should work.

The drivers are awesome, except for two things. Since you modded the drivers, maybe you can help.


I've been having sound problems with two games so far. Path of Neo and True Crime: Streets of LA. I keep getting bad sound blips, moreso with true crime, and just with these drivers.

For the record I just picked up the new X-Plosion and the DTS is beautiful for music
