Sound Blaster did send this product out for review, but it dose not effect my review in any way! - Věda a technologie
He’s not overhyping this thing... it is that good! It shines like no other with games and movies but is absolutely amazing for music. With a very good hi-fi set of cans and you will be transported.
What hi-fi headphones would you recommend?
Better than Astro mixamp ?
I am using Beyerdynamic
990 pro open cans
@@chrisbosh7033 that's what I just switched from. Game one headset with Astro Mix amp Pro to G6 With HD58X it's pretty crazy the difference in sound for games and most definitely for Music
@@chrisbosh7033 Way, way better. Not even comparable.
These frequent uploads are crazy awesome! Techne’s really on the grind ⚙️
thank you! man that gear emoji the the best ;)
Thank you. I love CZcams and this channel I need this product ordering tomorrow. Can’t wait
Best review I watched for soundblaster G6 . Thank you
thank you!!
@@TheTechne Do you think pairing this with my ATHm50x would be worth it?
@@jackdaniels6515 100% yes!!
The settings you set on PC will save to the G6, and carry over when using on a console!
Also the best headset to pair up with this coming soon ;)
When's the video at the headset coming. I am waiting to buy the head set.
@@RimCheck czcams.com/video/VUhyvS5a4HQ/video.html
Did you get endorsements from Creative Sound for this review?
Or was it a genuine rewiew?
@@GotYaWired I wish I got endorsements from any company, lol! I think I'm still a bit to small of a CZcamsr for that, lol!
I'm waiting for that video . I hope it will be DT990 pro 300 ohms 🤤 bc i had it already.
Can't wait until you blow up and get 1 mil. I think you deserve it. These reviews rival larger channels!
wow 1 mill, wow!
*puts into toaster*
HOLY SMOKES IT DOES WORK ON EVERYTHING!
Voice chat is not supported on the Xbox one,so no it does not!
I was blown away by the sound quality immediately. I like to record music and I also have a Focusrite 2i2, the G6 is even better. Best investment in a long time.
i was disappointed to find out it will NOT output dolby digital and dts through optical out via usb connected to PC (passthrough). who does this? its like they took 1 step forward and 100 steps back.
Just got this on a VG deal here in Australia. I've starting replaying some older and newer game titles using the Sound Blaster XG6 and my Sennheiser HD58 X Jubilee headphones and its like I'm playing these for the first time in almost a cinematic sound experience and as Techne mentioned, you feel like your part of that world of the game you're playing, hearing and it's weird to say, but also feeling the sound which is amazing and immersive!!!!!! Well done to Techne for this great review, but also well done to Sound Blaster for this excellent product too. :) Cheers from Australia
Great comment on your part also great little review I wasn’t sure if this was the right amp for me but it sounds like it cheers from the U.S
@@TheWIldGoose27 what are you thoughts now on the amp and what headphones your using with it?
am thinking on buying this exact amp but i’ve heard mixed reviews about it
@@bryanortiz1143 I plan on getting it soon, personally I've heard sound blaster is a good audio brand so it's really just up to what headphones you have or want to get.
@@TheWIldGoose27 Thanks am honestly between the x3 or the g6 to pair them with some Dt990 pro beyerdynamics. am still searching to see wish amp i get😂
@@bryanortiz1143 check out the iFi Zen Dac I think you would like that
Soo amazing video... just bought one. Thank you.
Hi, great review!. Would you recommend using this with some Steelseries arctis pro? Thanks
no the arctis pro's are good as is
Great review Techne! If you can pin this post there one VERY important note about using the G6's optical connection with any console device at has optical out. You MUST set the primary audio output to optical and more importantly set the audio format to Bitstream Dolby (If prompted, select 5.1 ch). It is a NIGHT and DAY difference with the surround sound immersion (directional queue and distance) for PS4 and PS3 (but you also have to enable SBX surround (00:04:10) using the software on PC and set it anywhere that works best for you (Personally I set surround to 65). The G6 can also be powered by the PS3/4's usb port which also enables mic input. No need for usb wall plug.
The games I noticed the biggest surround effect were most FPS games I played (Apex Legends, CoDs, Battlefields) heck even Batman Arkham series. You will seriously have an audible advantage in competitive shooters with this amp. Scout mode may make footsteps abit louder but SBX surround lets you hear where it's coming from. It's crazy good, the sound design that developers put into some games and this G6 amp just takes surround to another level of immersion when connected/setup properly.
Thanks for the video! But I have a question? Can you Connect this item to a audio interface like Arturia AudioFuse?
Is this better than buying the gamedac from SteelSeries and would it be able to be used with my SteelSeries arctis pro wireless? I just bought that after watching your review off those. Thank you in advance and for posting such awesome content!
Can’t wait to use mine after this deployment, thanks for the review, now I know I don’t just give away my money.
its really amazing! you're going to love it!
The Techne I also bought the 58X jubilee so will see how that combo works together
@@orlandoalicea5432 nice! I bet that is going to be a very nice combo. I'll have a video out hopefully today, with the headset I paired up with it, and oh man, it is so so nice from comfort to sound! A+++
The Techne I bet you do, thank you so much for all the info you’re the best.
@@orlandoalicea5432 thank you for watching! and you all are the best!!!
I didn't notice such a surprising improvement in sound with the G6 alone. It is clear that the sound has become clearer and more detailed, and the volume has also become louder. However, I was a little disappointed, wondering if it was worth investing this much money for something like this. However, just in case, I connected the G6 to an audio amplifier at home and listened to it. And then I realized. Now I no longer have to worry about buying a better headset. I've never heard such great sound. So I'm thinking of ending the war with headsets by buying a new good desktop amp
You're the man!!!! Watch alot of your videos and one of the most in depth channels! Thanks man. About to order this.
thank you so much for the kind words! and so glad to hear I was able to help out!! your going to love the G6!
I love this review!!
I just want to know, how does this compare to the mayflower ARC?
never tested the Arc, but hey this one is 100$ cheaper! lol
The arc is over priced stero amp dac it’s dac is boring and somewhat clean but not worth the asking price
Forget the giveaway .. this is quality content 👍✌
I just received these in the mail, I updated the sound card on pc then hooked it up to ps4 via optical output and USB and put it on max settings holy crap wow. Amazing. I'm using hyperx cloud alpha BTW.(be sure to set it on chat audio)
I have the same headset as you and have been thinking about getting this amp for my PS4. I don’t have a pc to alter the settings, do you know if it will work ok without connecting it to the software?
@@SW-sp8se idk if u still need this info but I you can alter setting with your phone with the app if u don't have a pc.
@@Adrian-he5zs thanks for taking the time to reply, it worked without any software. I didn’t realise there was an app though, I will see if I can find it So I can change profiles. Thanks.
Just bought this amp/dac to pair with the DT 990 Pro. Can't wait to see how immersive it'll feel..
i’m about to get that exact setup! how was your experience?
if I had any extra money I'd get one, awesome video by the way :)
thank you! this amp/dac is well worth saving up for!
Hey mate your reviews are awesome ! How do you compare to g3?? Like g6 is so much more expansive and I want a plug and play dac for ps4. I’m willing to spend more if it greatly improves sound/soundstage etc. but if only a little I think g3 will suit me. Ps I only been using plugging dt 990 into controller
I own g3 its a great value and is really user friendly... great options for expanding the sound stage with you average headsets within the 20-20k hz range makes them crisp clear and loud 👌... and you get 7.1 5.1 if you like that sound stage and its not bad like other 7.1's
I'm picking it up today! Once you have great audio, cant go back.
Loving the reviews. Have you tried USB->PC But use optical with xbox? Would that work to get both sources for say streamers?
Also is that a round optical port? Thx
I wouldn't thing so, because the usb powers the unit for xbox use. yes it is round, but the optical cable is very long.
@@TheTechne To be clear tho you lose mic function on xbox. Is that correct?
@@Boostedbeard hmmm, not sure about that one. as xbox doesn't say if a mic is connected or not like ps4.
Techne I love your positive energy dude! Keep smiling and keep reviewing!
:)
Thank you, Great review!! I was wondering if this would work with a blue yeti mic on a PS4.
If blue yeti is 3.5mm then yes.
If the mic usb maybe
A bit of an older video but been using arctis 5 headphones, so would you not recommend this for my headset? I also read in the comments you said the arctis pros dont need a dac.. so would you pair any steelseries headsets with this dac? Thanks!
Bought it! :D It pairs amazing with my DT 990 Pro's!
Same :D
And I have to say... Surround sound is amazing!
I have the 250 ohm of the DT990s. They sound awesome!
Right!! :D it’s like the best combination ever! I don’t think I can ever by a 600$ headset and a 300-500$ DAC/AMP!
You guys comments made my day I was just wondering if I bought the DT990 pro with sound blaster g6 it might be a terrible idea and maybe it will not work and the 7.1 surround might not work either I'm planning to hook this up with my ps4 pro and my pc and now I'm gonna order them and I will order modmic 5 too for the microphone it will be an amazing setup can't wait 👍
I want original crisp sound and have the same headphones but the sound is not loud at all. I have trouble hearing footsteps in game. The wheel knob turns windows volume up (at 100 already) and doesn't help for volume. Help??
great review so if I connect to my xbox with the optical cable and the power as you mentioned I can control the volume from chat and from game?? IN XBOX???
That's what I wanna know. Also if the voice chat would work.
Same question i have, since most places ive searched it says mic doesnt work with dac/amps
@@carlosguzman461 AFTER I REACH ABOUT IT IT SEEM CAN WORK BUT ONLY IF YOU CONNECT THE OPTICAL CABLE TO THE CONSOLE AND THE USB TO THE PC (OBIUSLY THE PC NEED TO BE TURN ON) AND THEN YOU NEED TO OPEN THE XBOX APP TO TALK WITH YOUR PARTY CHAT
@@roskosgameplay9915 Thanks for that answer! So im messed lol i have no pc yet, im planning to build a gaming and most likely i wont have to worry about dac/amping the headphone on xbox.
Awesome review dude. Now do this works with all headsets and mics?
yes, but it really shines when you use headsets with a bigger range than the average 20-20khz. but yes it does really boost every headset. I will have an awesome one, my new fav coming soon.
@@TheTechne I can't wait to see this video. Its so enjoying washing your videos
Do you recommend these with the corsair virtuoso XT? I brought these headphones due to your review
Just an FYI for Xbox users that this can be used with party chat, but not game chat. Usually people who use DAC's/mixamps have a desk set up. What you have to do is hook up the G6 via optical to your xbox, G6 to your PC via USB and use the Xbox PC app to use part chat. Works with the Series S & X also but you'll needs an HDMI audio extractor to get optical, or use your TV optical output.
Or just plug the 3.5mm jack of your controller into the "Line In" port, and voila, game chat or part chat. But you will need a splitter to split the audio and mic ports with the controller 3.5mm jack, then use the mic of your choice with the remaining mic port.
@@wrecklessKane doesn't work. I've tried it, I had Creative support look into this and it doesn't work that way.
So I could for example invite people to party on Xbox one and talk there.
but wouldn't be able to in like overwatch like chat in game to speak to teammates I normally don't use mic on there this ping but would like to have option if I ever wanted to use it.
Also I heard through optical you can't adjust volume knob on dac can you still somehow turn volume up and down like you would this going through controller
Would this DAC work good with the Astro a40s? Also Would you recommend something louder headphones with deep bass for this DAC? Thanks
I LOVE THE APP !! :o
Great review man! I got my Arctis 3 Bluetooth because of your review and I'm looking into this device too. Great channel!
thank you so much!
I use gx6 s with beyerdynamic mmx3 2gen and it's a great combo that nothing beats, before that I had hyperx orbit s and it's comparable, while hyperx were magnetoplanar hearing aids with great sound, unfortunately the processing quality is tragic/plastic and often breaks
Deserve a lot more subscribers
thank you so much!
this dude... this dude is legit
Mine is on it's way, can't wait to test it out and compare to my current DAC. Using a Beyerdynamic MMX300 (basically a DT770), considering a DT 1990 Pro to push the headset and DAC properly.
So, happy ?
@@MisterBeRight Yes sir! Its a great DAC! Superb in all ways really. My only "complaint" is that there isnt a physical button to swap source, gotta do it in software. But thats honestly such a minor complaint that I dont really even care.
@@vedomedo thank you sir ! Appreciate your input.
Vedomedia, which version of the dt770 do you have, 250 ohms or 80 ohms.just curious because looking to buy this set also.
Came across your channel yesterday,love your reviews,subbed😎
I’ve just bought this thanks to your review, I’m planning to use it with the hyper x cloud alpha. Do you think it would be a good pairing?
very, just make sure it's the Alpha S
this Dac is capable of 600 Ohms. any gaming headset is incapable of achieving the potential of what this dac provides. If you want amazing sound quality and actually pin point enemies when gaming, look into using this dac along with the Beyerdynamic dt 990s 260 Ohms... the best headsets for gaming arent gaming headsets.
I’m actually planning to get the 990’s in the near future. The cloud alpha is just what I’ve already got.
I'm using this with the cloud alpha too ironically.
I'm confused. Is it awesome or not on xbox? And if you tweak the settings on pc will it save so you can use those settings with xbox?
I just ordered the Sennheiser GSP 600 and i was thinking of buying the G6 with it to get the best sound out of it.
Thanks for the helpful review! Subbed.
yes the sound is amazing on xbox! I was actually just playing some ghost recon on xbox one x with it. and yes the settings to save to the unit. thank you so much for the sub!!
@@TheTechne thanks for the reply. Very helpful! I'm also playing ghost recon breakpoint at the moment. Awesome game. Peace.
I saw an optical in and out. Could i use this dac with the Astro A20's for better spatial awareness? I have the module for the a20's but i dont have the MixAmp
Thank you for this review! Too many people think Astro mix amp is the best. I own the G6. It kills all other Dac Amps including any Astro Mix amp. It's simply outstanding.
hand down 100% agree! everyone should have this G6 on their desk!!
Oke I have the g5 atm and an old astro mixamp (only for ps4) but looking to get the g6...
I found that the astro mixamp was fantastic on the ps4 and love it (not on pc) but will the g6 give me better dirrection awarness of footsteps and sound over the astro mixamp? even the newer model?
@@theFunmonkey24 yes
Can I use a g5 or g6 with series x so I can voice chat and raise my volume louder. Guessing with an audio extractor?? Please let me know. I dont wanna buy the astro mixamp for 130 when g6 is 130
@@WavyVaporizers G6 does not support voice chat on xbox
Can you tell which mic you were using with the sound blaster when you were showing the mic effects in software?
actually i just have a friend come over and imitate the sounds for me
The SBX G6 sounds better when it's on it's own power, with optical in. My Mac and PS4 both work fine on usb, but sound is better when the card is not being taken over by an external OS. Another thing to mention, if Dolby Digital is thrown at it you MUST use the SBX button ON to get the surround working, when you're sending stereo through anything turn OFF the SBX for better sound.
Hi, so its sound better when is with optical? Power the G6 and then connect with Optical to PC?
@@hua2726 that is what i wanted to know. Just got it 5min ago. My pc has a optical out. Any advice ?
No it doesn't usb is best feed not optical
hello Techne from korea, any thought about this stuff vs ifi zen dac v2? for gaming of course, but for other uses like music, movie, etc , in general... having headache choosing one.... I would love to buy both and try myself, but of course have budget problem, so....
Hi Techne! Could you please do a review on Creative BlasterX H6 gaming headphones!
I have the creative omnisound 5.1 .. is this much better? Is it worth upgrading?
This guy, this guy. Oh boy.. Pays all these stuffs with his own money and reviews them, reads questions on every single video and replies to them, has a wife and kid, uploads videos daily and edits them. And always cracks a smile. Boi you need some rest
lol, I love it! I do get some stuff sent from companies now, but that will never affect my reviews "EVER", I already upset some companies with that mentality, but hey, honesty 1st!
Would the 24 bit amp work with Beyerdynamic dt 990 pro headphones?
I just watched your review on the hyper x cloud revolver s. I currently own one and wanted to know how much better surround sound sounds with this amp? Is it worth buying?
yes it's much better. this is the amp I used when I spoke about using the rev with an amp. great combo
@@TheTechne thank you!
Really good review mate. Do you think the G6 would work well with Astro A40s on PS4?
Can you pls do a review on their headset? The soundblaster H6
Thanks! 🙌🏽💯
I'm pretty skeptical of taking audio advice from gaming channels or audio products with gaming in the marketing. I was getting desperate so I took a chance on this, this is the best amp I've used on pc, regardless of gaming features or mic inputs. Dont think of this as a gaming amp, this is an audiophile amp that happens to have a mic input. Get this, turn off all the effects, set the bit rate and sampling frequency to max and enjoy. I'm amazed that this produces such clean and full sound with enough power to destroy both your ears and your headphones without wall power. As a bonus the headphone port is a 4 pole port so you dont need a splitter if you have a combination jack on your headset. I tested this on my fidelio x2hr and I wouldnt go above 30% volume on high gain, on my hd 58x jubilee I wouldnt go above 45%. In my opinion this paired with a fidelio x2hr and a vmoda boom pro is bar none the ultimate audio set up for music, movies and gaming. I would recommend this over any other usb powered amp even if you just want something for music, trust me I've pretty much tried them all.
This does have one of the better virtual surround sound implementations you can get, though, which is very important for gaming, and also very nice for movies. Scout mode is also a "gaming" feature although it's very specific for making certain sounds easier to hear, and will ruin your sound quality. Mic input and game/voice mix is another.
I bought the GC7 but ended up not liking SXFI so will probably return the GC7 and get a G6 instead for a small money save, smaller size and (probably negligible) sound quality boost.
@@galzohar I bought both the gc7 and the g6. I love the features of the gc7 but the g6 is about half the size and more importantly double the sound quality. I returned the gc7, it wasnt even close between the 2 as far as sound quality is concerned. I would highly recommend you return the gc7 and get the g6. The gc7 didnt sound that much better than my laptops built in audio where the g6 was a significant improvement assuming you have good enough headphones to take advantage of the upgrade.
@@vartkez187 I just submit a return request for my GC7. Hopefully they don't cause problems refunding, to get free shipping rather than 20 euros I had to say it didn't work right (and it didn't, SXFI was horrible). Then I'll buy a G6 which is on sale now. However, without SXFI, GC7 does sound better than my on-board sound, and while it's 7-year-old, it's not a cheap one and is probably better than your laptop's.
I have the HD560S, I guess we'll see once I get my hands on the G6. I won't be losing anything as I don't use any of the GC7 features except those that are also on the G6.
@@galzohar with the 560s you should notice a significant difference between the gc7 and the g6. I did A/B testing between the gc7 and my dell G5SE on board audio and honestly there was maybe a 5% increase in sound quality with the gc7, mostly it was a difference in output power. I tested it using my hd58x, hd600 and fidelio x2hr. The g6 on the other hand was a significant difference in clarity, detail and bass. After the gc7 I bought a fiio k3, fiio q3, fiio btr5, hidizs s9 pro and the g6. All of those amps were significantly better than the gc7, especially the btr5 and g6. Enjoy your new g6 when you get it, I know I do. I just hope they make a proper successor for the g6 cause I never want to get rid of mine.
@@vartkez187 Should arrive in a week or 2. The GC7 was already picked up. Unfortunately I won't be able to A/B them. But as I wasn't using any of the SXFI/GC7-specific features at the worst case I will still be saving 10$ and some desk space.
This or the X3? I'm torn between the two after watching your other video lmao
I got the DT 990 Pro and the SBX G6 ordered, so stoked! (For PC)
nice combo! I prefer the 770's though
The Techne why do you prefer the 770s. I’ve been trying to find a comparison but no one has made one. Also is there a big enough difference between the g5 and the g6 on the PS4 slim. I can get the 5 for $84 and the 6 for $112
Kaleb Anderson the 990’s and g6 is a great
combo, absolutely in love with them!
@@kalebanderson6564 770 review coming soon
I decided to go ahead and buy the G5 model to see how it improves my gaming audio :)
G6 works on Every device cause unlike most Dac-Amps it supports UAC1 and UAC2 ie USB 1.1 Audio and USB 2.0 Audio you can actually hear the device switching between these two modes cause the its full hardware support the X light is Red for UAC1 and what ever light you set it in the PC app for UAC2 you cannot change the UAC1 light + this thing is so powerful it beats most $1000-2000 Amps no kidding i was so supprised of its power and you can ever boost it more not onpy with high gain but with EQ 12DB more and all that power can be put to the line-optical out port where you can hook anything
Is it possible to use this to hear both PS4 and Mac audio through your headphones at the same time?
So if it works on Xbox one, how do you use it to talk with someone. Or will the mic part not work with Xbox one?
Hello I have a quick question for ya . What kind of head set do you recommend on the sound blaster. Please keep in mine. I’m not balking with money
Please review the rk61 im getting it for my birthday and i want to see an honest review of it. 😃
that board is on my list ;)
Should i get the g5 and save a few bucks or is the g6 a lot better, for the beyerdynamic dt 990 pros 250 ohm
Great video bro, but please don’t be afraid to take care your nails with an specialist! It will make you more secure and girls actually like a man that take cares of their hands even if we do hard work. I use to be afraid of going to the beach because my toenails where horrible and a specialist took care of them and now they look incredible good
Could you review the Drevo Tyrfying V2. It’s a $45 keyboard with outemu blue, brown, black, and red switches. It has all keyboard layouts.TKL. RGB. It also has macros
this is just about the exact same thing czcams.com/video/soaWhJqrN_Q/video.html
Just wondering if this is plug and play friendly for a ps4 slim to power hd58x or do I need a pc for the software?
can i use logitech pro x 's 2in1 wire plug in (H.port&M.port)? any problem effect will be bad sound?
and one more question is at the same time Line/Optical Out can i plug in my razer leviathan 5.1??
Would this work on series x with a audio extractor? I'm trying to find a amp/dac that can allow me to voice chat online as well as make my gaming audio louder than just plugging in my headset to a controller.
Is it possible to have 2 inputs at once, like usb and optical outputing at the same time?
If you had to choose between this and the X3 which one would recommend when it comes to exclusive PC-usage?
it would depend on what headset/headphones I was using and what budget I was in. me personally I would probably go the X3 due to the lower price, simplicity of use, and has just enough for me.
Will this be able to support my speakers via 3.5mm and a pair of headphones?
What I'd like to know is if it's worth it for me. Because I have an acer nitro i7 that uses a built-in Realtek ALC295 @ Intel Comet Lake PCH-LP - cAVS card.
Will Creative Sound BlasterX G6 be far superior to Realtek ALC295? What do you think? My interest is only movies and music, mp3 and flac.
This is a good question can you connect a 3.5mm cable to a controller? It’s doesn’t look like a regular optical
thanks for the video, is it enough for dt 770 pro 250 ohms?
Just bought this bad boy based on your review! My only question is it says dolby digital decoding is only available through the optical. What does that mean and is it necessary?
no I say don't use the surround sound any way, and I never do on any headset/amp. it just messes up the true natural sound.
Will this also help the audio on my Quincy Jones Q701 reference headphones 🎧
Nice presentation.
Need help!!
Two different dac with different frequency response.. help me to choose the better one.
20Hz-20KHz, +/-0.25dB
10 Hz to 80 kHz, +0/‒3 dB
Thanks in advance.
What's everyones favorite settings, just got the G6 today, loving it so far playing on R6 Siege and BF1 but have no idea which settings to change?
I have to agree... Scout Mode is something else
I don’t need a headphone amp. I’m looking to simply run out of tv via optica cable and into my powered monitors via xlr. What dac would I need?? Thanks!!
Would this work with a Xbox One series X?? Also wanted to pair this with the Beyerdynamic DT990 pros
Who else is watching this amazing video while in class?
lol, hey pay attention now! to the video not the teacher! lol JK listen to the teacher!!

@@gerar1o_ lol, thank you so much!
so im looking for something to run my senheiser 560s and a mic for music/gaming/movies on my pc. should i get this for the 7.1 and scout mode. or should i just get a Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD that i found used for 40$?
im still looking for the perfect settings.... cant find them online -.- how would you set it up for gaming with headphones on win10? nice review btw. :D
I don't use sbx or scout mode. so many options to adjust, lol
@@TheTechne And what are your windows settings? I've set my windows to 5.1 because im playing FPS mainly but i really dont know how it's supposed to be -.- im using stereo headphones btw. thx for that fast reply :D

Is this good with Hyperx Cloud Alpha S?
Hi! Have you tried X g6 with the Arctis pro headset? I play on PS4 and not sure if I should get this instead of the steelseries gamedac?
Of course, the g6 is way better
The pros don’t have 3.5mm jack so won’t work with g6
can this be used to get party chat on a stream with an elGato?
Are you able to use the blue yeti with this on Xbox without any accessories
What mic did you use for this test - thanks
When i click to amazon link it takes me to a Creative Sound Blaster G3 not G6
If I set some audio setting on the SBX mode on a pc, will the settings be the same and carry through an xbox and playstation?
Can you chat with people while using this amp? I brought one and I can't talk in parties no one can hear me please help
I would actually recommend using optical only to plug it into Ps4, cause the sound is much more clean, the volume is easier to control and you won't get Dolby Digital decoding using usb.
will the sound be loud through the optical in ps4?
Is it possible to connect this to a console and a pc at the same time? Currently I use the arctic pro DAC
I know this is a late comment but looking to buy this for my hyper x cloud alpha s’s. But I want to use it as a dac/amp for my hifiman sundra to my iPhone XR. Can I connect to my iPhone XR with the usb 3 cameras adapter. It turns the iPhone XR charge port into a regular usb. So I could plug that into the dac/amp from the iPhone. I want to know if This will work. I heard it does?
I have PS4 Pro now and play mainly FPS games like COD. I have the Astro A40 TR Mixamp headset now. Will this device be an improvement in FPS on helping with enemy footsteps etc?
Yes with scout mode
Even 3 years later, much appreciate getting a review from the perspective of someone who is “just a consumer that wants it to sound good”
I’m no audiophile, trying to research speakers, DACs, etc has been a nightmare. Between the technical audiophile jargon that doesn’t mean anything to me, and all the subjective aspects that depend on personal preference (that I have no experience and therefore no knowledge of)
Those first few seconds of the video are exactly what I needed to hear. Someone giving an objective “yes, having this will make it sound significantly better”
