Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I bought a pair of these along with the Massdrop minimic as a gift for my brother to upgrade him from the Kingston Cloud 2 he had. But I'm really new to this all DAC and sound card thing, I usually use my Kingston Cloud usb soundcard and my Xbox One controller as a wireless soundcard for my PC.
I heard that FiiO E10K is the most popular budget solution here, but I stumbled upon Sound Blaster Omni and it sparked my interest since - it has a mic input (the mic input on his motherboard is horribly noisy and picks up impossible amounts of interference) - it has integrated mic for those moments when you dont want a second mic cable running along your headset or you dont want a mic in front of your face
But I cant seem to find a comparison of sound quality between these two. Is the FiiO a lot better at making this headset sound good? Or is the omni pretty good too? Maybe there are other alternatives with a mic input?
And one more question - for gaming and movies, is the creatives surround feature just a gimmick or should I try to pay extra to get something with virtual 7.1?
Thank you!
