Overall the DDL is a mixed bag, it offers really good sound subjectively speaking, there’s no extraneous noise, no noticeable distortion and unlike the Audigy it has really good output when using PowerDVD. I wouldn’t consider this a bad thing really, I’ve had an Audigy Platinum EX in this rig as well and the Envy24 actually surpasses it in terms of sound quality. The result of the tweaking is what you see in the above screenshot, yes I know I added a little treble at 16k but that was just to get a bit of sizzle going since the high end seemed to be a bit muted.Īfter the tweaking I can say that the DDL had stellar sound quality across the board, the low end has good extension and you can really feel the air being moved by the sub during hollow but as great as this sounds it was virtually indistinguishable from the Envy24. I bring this up because when I began my listening evaluation of the Montego DDL I noticed a large spike in frequencies around 120 and 60hz and a bit of a lack at 30hz. Here’s where the EQ comes into play… When I listened to my old setup I never used any EQ which is why I neglected to get a screenshot of it but that’s ok since it and the DDL EQ are both basically the same, 10 band full octave EQ’s with center frequencies at 30, 60, 120, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000 and 16,0000 hertz.
