As always, thanks for bringing up our mic! Any questions about the ModMics can be dropped here and we'll answer!
Anytime! I use them all the time so it makes sense at this level of sound quality discussion.
I’m leaning heavy on the IFI Zen dac v2. But need a mic option when online gaming with buddies. I’m on ps5. Can I run that dac with your wireless mic? Is it just a plug and play setup on the USB ports of the ps5?
Which of these have a good side talk option for the boom mic? It's important I don't shout late at night. Also is there a good option with q factor parametric EQ?
@@davebrunskill600 Because the ModMic doesn't interface with the headphones, sidetone (or side talk as you said) is not possible. Sorry! :)
@@AntlionAudio AHH so it's not possible to use a dac to mix sidetone? I thought some done this I may need to get combined then, thanks
A really comprehensive and informative review. Thank you so very much for all this great information, your time, and effort sharing this with us all. Much appreciated, Sir.
Fantastic video! You’re editing has grown a lot and Improved over time 😊.
Love to see the channel growth! 🎉
Ay man I been looking into this for a while I appreciate u making this
Great Vid as always thanks Joe🤙
Very very useful. Thanks bro 🙏🏻❤️
Subbed! What an excellent video and it was exactly what i was looking for. Thank you
Thanks for keeping console on your radar!
Fire 🔥 Best on the tune period
Damm, thanks so much Boss man!!! You are the man!!!
I was today years old when I learnt about the existence of DACs. I only have an older surround sound system that doesn't support 4k, and I really want to utilise the PS5's 4k capabilities. So this will solve that issue. HDMI directly into my 4k monitor and the sound running through the DAC and into my surround sound system. Thank you!
This review was so much of a help. I've been having the Astro Mix-amp since 2019 and it sounds great to me because I made it wireless with the Wavzs KT-1 with 6 drivers per ear and believe me they sound awesome. But now I bought the VZR One headsets and I was surprised to see them in your video. Now I want the Schiit Hel 2 for it. I thank you a lot for this review and found what I was looking for because I feel like the Astro Mix-amp was not enough for the VZR One headphone.
Dude what a great video!!!! I really learned alot, about to get some new cans now with the wireles mic!!! 👍👍👍
Awesome, thanks! So glad it helped
This video is the Schiit!! Awesome work as always!!
The joke will never get old :)
Oh, Schiit! Fantastic video.
This is the most professional video i have watched, you deserve more visibility! i have a question: does exist a device that simply merge different audio sources? i desire to have something for listening to PS5, PC and smartphone all together in my headphones
Thank You
The ifi hip dac works as well. Nice and loud and is also portable double usage .
Great video! I appreciate all the work you put in.
End game cheat code is sound blasterx g6 connected to chord mojo 2 through the optical. Basically only using the g6 dsp .You can then use mojo as your main amp/dac or upgrade to a better amp in the future. Extra bonus you can bring the mojo with you on the go to listen to music or game on almost any device.
Sorry, what? Why do I need 2 Dacs? And what do you mean upgrade to a better dac in the future? Doesn’t the mojo cost 500€?
Another banger vid! I use the iFi Zen Dac v2 / Zen CAN stack on mine, using my Sundara HP all connected with balanced cables.. absolutely love them. I also have them on a USB switch to connect to my Mac mini for music. Occasionally will power on the Arctis 7p but they’re not as comfortable (pad depth too short for ears). Side note - originally tried a Topping Dac, before I researched the UAC1, Topping does not support UAC1.
This video is 🔥🔥.
Thanks!
Love your channel! You've got a lot of the same interested and tastes that I do so the content is always perfect!
I'd love to see a PC setup where you doing an amp/dac combo and a dedicated mic. I've been trying to figure out good combinations that will work with streaming but still have game chat with my party and a no-latency sidetone.
Sounds good! I'll be working on more content pieces like this down the road once I get more caught up on other product reviews. Thanks for supporting the channel!
Do Any of these Offer Sidetone? @@GadgetryTech
Great video , Can you do another video on how you would actually connect the DAC to the PS5
“Now hopefully I don’t make your Hifi audio shopping picks any harder” are you kidding me bro?? You make me want to buy everything you put your stamp of approval on! 😂 your review is the reason I bought my Penrose and holy shit my guy I’ve ever looked at anything under $300 ever since lol. Love ya man love your content you fucking rock.
Explained better than a teacher thank you
Thanks for bringing up a good dac for the VZR headphones. I got those headphones after watching one of your videos and was wondering what the best DAC for them would be! Nice prius joke btw 😅.
Thanks brotha for the deep dive! What pairing would you say works best for the H6Pro closed and the Pc38x open on ps5?
Great video! Thank you for info. I’m so glad I love the Audeze Maxwells and will be using them until the end of my days. Or until the Maxwells 2 come out. Lmao
Lol for sure
I'm using the Emotiva Big Ego plus running to a Topping a30 Pro. You need to set the Big Ego to UAC1 mode every time you turn the PS 5 into rest mode but it's a small price to pay for being able to use whichever amp you want.
pretty informative video mate!! i just wanna ask your opinion if the fosi k5 pro is enough to give some juice to most iems for ps5? or by just plugging it straight to the controller is enough..hope to have your feedback regarding this..Thanks heaps in advance!!
Would be great to see this kind of video, but for HDMI audio extractor on the Ps5
Thank you for the input, it really helped me understanding some details. Sadly there was no DAC that could connect to PS5 and PC at the same time and switch between them easily, right (except the X5, which is probably a bit too expensive for my needs)? Do you know if there is a DAC that can achieve this and also has an optical toslink output for my Sonos Ray? Or maybe you even know how I can achieve this with my existing Soundblaster GC7 and an audio extractor (toslink, HDMI and orange 3,5mm jack). In any case, thank you very much, really appreciate this video.
I use the Qudelix 5k portable DAC/Amp - works great with the PS5 via USB, with a decent mic input and then I can take on the road and use as a Bluetooth DAC/Amp with my phone/tablet :)
Hey Joe, great vid as usual. I was just wondering. I have a PS5 and Series X and looking at purchasing the Steelseries GameDAC v2 to use on both with my H6 Pro open backs. I have read a few places claiming there is a ton of latency with the DAC on Xbox. Do you have any info yourself on that? Have you ever measured the latency?
I got great deal on a used Mayflower ArcMk2 it works great on PS5 with hard to drive headphones HiFiMan he400se and mic in put for the Antlion Modmic uni
I love the content also I ran through all of these but the G6 and what I my endgame turned out to be the Topping DX3 Pro Plus. It's that neutral warm gets me every time.
Yeah it's an amazing DAC! I could have included more but this video already hit over 30 minutes so I had to start being more selective. The DX3 Pro Plus was the closest one to making the list though. Great callout!
@@GadgetryTech I just purchased Hook X trying to find my endgame FPS set up.
@@GadgetryTech
Does the G6 provide just as good sound quality as the HEL 2e?
hey gadgetrytech, i was wondering if adding a headphone amp will improve the sound of the gsx1000 (gen 1) when used with a pair of epos h6 pro's (open)? many thanks!!! love the channel!
Jds labs element III also works with ps5. U can use optical cable connected to gaming tv or switch between UAC1 or UAC2 in element 3 menu & use included usb cable. Using HD800 s with antlion mod mic wireless on ps5.
You can also download the new firmware so that you can EQ on the device itself so you can have access to EQ on PS5 (you might want to EQ down the 6K region for the HD 800 S)
An audio noob here. I have the B&O Beoplay Portal (the updated Playstation version). To my understanding the audio quality it offers on PS5 is excellent, and I can agree to that with my experience with it. Sounds great. I never play with friends online, as I play exclusively only single player games or with friends in the same room on my PS5, so I never use a mic with it.
Q: Why would I spend more money on a DAC? Would it actually make any real difference? Or is this purely an audiophile thing, where the effort and cost is more important than an actual difference in sound quality? I feel there is a strong bias towards the mentality of "I spend $700 so it's obviously better sound quality", even though almost no other human can hear, feel or measure the difference. I've had these moments with some of my audiophile friends, where they play me samples and try to convince me that the difference in sound quality is massive, and I can't tell any difference in any of it. Is it just me, or is it the "sunk cost fallacy" or something? I do understand that there are major sound quality differences in many products, but at what point does it really matter anymore? Spending hundreds of dollars for 4% better sound quality (how you could measure that is beyond me) doesn't seem smart to me.
I can't testify to the specifics of your ask. But if you can't tell the difference between samples your audiophile friends compare, that's 100% okay and I wouldn't sweat it. As an audio engineer, I try to milk everything for what it's worth, but I understand that most folks won't notice night & day differences to us... If you're satisfied with the sound you got. that's all that matters.
I would like to see an up-to-date Xbox series X audio guide. Especially with newer headsets like the hyper X cloud 3 and EQ settings on Dolby Atmos for the hyper x
Hi. Great video!
So, I am new to Custom Audio/Mic setups... I have a PS5 and the Kingston HyperX Cloud Flight (maybe cloud flight 2's) that I use wirelessly.
They're ok, but i want to get into something better quality as my current setup sounds lackluster (empty: no bass, etc.)
What would you recommend? I want to keep the cost down... Do you think the SoundBlaster G6 + my Kingston HyperX Cloud Flight (possible 2's) would give me a better sound profile? or should I look into getting new headphones as well?
Looking forward to your response.
This video just convinced me to buy another ant lion mic. I’ve had 2 for the past 15 years that just broke (likely caused by electric static shock).
I need a mic for the GameDac gen 2 for Xbox.
@GadgetryTech what are your thoughts on the soundblaster x4 instead of the x6? Mainly because you can use a mobile app to EQ instead of having to use PC. For PS5 with a Drop Epos p38x
Wild how my Soundblaster X7 with sparkos op amps and linear power supply still beats all these options , by far! Creative needs to make a x7 successor finally
I use the Atom DAC+ that goes into a Topping A30 to drive Mk3 Argons. You just have to make sure you get the correct (white) usb cable from JDS labs to get usb audio working. Would be nice if the xbox series worked with the same setup
Amazing information. I am side-eyeing that VZR Model One still however, they are still not available in Europe and seems like the guys at the company went radio silent. Absolutely bummed out.
Is the Schiit Hel+ a newer better version of the Hel 2e that you showcased in this video?
I cannot find the Schiit Hel 2e on their website.
I just bought the VZR Model one, would you still recommend the Schiit Hel as your go to for the VZR?
Do the VZR Model ones even need a dac/amp?
Useful guide and interesting to watch, thank you. The biggest issue with PS5 isn't the UAC 1.0/1.1 limitation it's the '50%' power/volume drop (I believe this measures around -15.75db). This is why any compatible DAC/AMP will get much louder on PC or Switch as they aren't limited. My G6 with high impedance headphones; i.e. DT 770 Pro (250 ohms) has to be run at much higher volume & high gain with the PS5 and just sounds flat in comparison to using with PC or anything over optical.
I know the Qudelix 5K is a great option for PS5 because it specifically has the 'Host Volume Override' feature for PS5. Also the Shiit Hel 2 & JDS Atom stack in UAC 1.0 mode might be avoiding the 50% issue. Although if they get louder on PC and I've read that in places then they also suffer.
I wish Sony would support 3D audio for headphones over HDMI in the same way Microsoft do as that would open up other options.
Whilst PS5 and Series consoles have great support for 3D audio this gen, the fact that neither fully support UAC 1/2 standards, or have any direct optical connection (an open standard used by most headphone DAC/AMPs) is the biggest fumble with either machine this generation imho. Although I own a G6 and other DAC/AMPs with PS5, I've just settled on PC38X or H6Pro via the controller as it's the easiest solution.
Wouldn‘t you get a better sound quality when you would use a gsx 300 in addition? Maybe not as loud but the sound quality schould be improved or am i wrong ?
@@jonasalbrecht6535 I don't think so. In that the power/vol output issue from the PS5 (same as the PS4 was) will still be there. That also before you factor in issue of microphone input on DAC/AMPs that have them being rubbish too - you'll often read mic input sounding worse than the DualSense, for example. The best audio quality will be over optical (but you lose Tempest 3D audio) or use a PCM2704 USB to Toslink adapter but this still measures as a -11db output (there are numerous video and reddit posts that talk about this).
@@jonasalbrecht6535 I have the gsx for ps5. It’s just wayyyyyy to quiet to really even be usable even with the pc38x which is crazy easy to drive . Maybe it would be alright with some iems or something.
what should i get just to fix low volume with the TYGR 300 R what do you recommend. Nothing with "mic" just to fix the low volume..(low audio)
@@sheepnoblepro1370 How are you currently connecting the TYGRs to the PS5 - through the DualSense controller?
Most DAC/AMPs are going to 'fix' the low volume, it's just they will sound much quieter on PS5 vs PC or Switch - because of the -15.75db or 50% problem. So at worst the dynamic range is impacted as you have to run more amplification to raise the volume. As mentioned above the Qudelix 5K has a 'host volume override' toggle in its companion mobile app to avoid the issue. I'm not 100% sure if any other DAC/AMPs have this feature (maybe the Hel2 & JDS Atom) but most won't.
Hey man, I recently bought a Simgot EW200 IEMs as my primary source of earphones. I also got a Venture electronics Abigail pro dongle DAC.
The issue I'm having is that this combo works great with PC, but it doesn't work with ps5! It doesn't detect the dac itself.
Please mention some DACs that go well with this IEM. THANK YOU!
Hi I just hit that Sub button. Had a quick question I was looking to have a DAC that would allow me to have audio and mic to both my PS5 and PC at the same time. Could the Creative X5 do that for me?
So i've got a question, I use the Philips Fidelio X2HR with the Vmoda BoomPro mic plugged in the the headset, this is then plugged into the PS5's Duel Sense controller, i'm often told there is some echo sound coming from the mic when i speak in party chat. Would any of these Dac solutions solve these issues. Love the video.👍
Please look into the Beyerdynamic Headzone Game DAC..
Hello GadgetryTech!
Please make a video of how to connect the g6 dac with the splitter for the ps5! I find it extremely frustrating to learn how to do it correctly😪
I use a Fiio (not fossi) k5pro with a usb to spidif adapter. Works well.
I currently use the Epos PC38x. In this video you mentioned it comes down to the type of headset others use. So do you think it is necessary to buy a dac for this headset?
I'm debating using some headphones with my PS5, but since I only play single-player games and don't ever game online (and so never use the chat feature), I've been kind of hesitant to spring for a dedicated "gaming" headset. I have a pair of Sony MDR1 AM2 headphones that I really like, and I'm thinking they should work fine with just the PS5 controller, since they don't need much power to drive. I haven't yet had a chance to test them out (not a lot of gaming time nowadays), but based on the specs do you think I'd benefit from getting a separate DAC, like the iFi Zen Air you mention here?
I've been using the G6 for over 2 years now and it still sounds fantastic. Just picked up the Schiit HEL 2E and loving it so far, It's definitely a perfect match for the VZR Model One.
Have you tried the VZR model one with the G6? If so how does it compare against schiit hel2e?
@@user-im7to5dj6s Yup, I have. That's been my main DAC with VZR. Both are great DACS, but if I had to choose one I think I like the Schiit Hel2e a bit more. I like the more balanced sound from it. The G6 has a bit more bass by default, I love the build quality on the Hel2e, It feels like a premium product.
@@armen1136
But does Schiit Hell2e have EQ settings similar to the G6's?
@@NeonPizzasno eq settings on the schiit hel2e
Which surround sound software do you use with the VZR Model one and do you use any EQs?
I have a few of Creative's dacs. What I find annoying about the G6 (probably Sony's fault) is that every time you boot up, the volume is always at "50%" in usb mode. Now, on the ones without the volume knob, that's as far as it goes. If you use an audio extractor, you lose the ability to use a mic with the G6. The only one I have that works as intended is the H7 Tournament Edition headset.
@GadgetryTech Would you recommend a topping Dx3pro+ over the Hel+? (for PC)?
Hi! I’m looking everywhere for the precious information of whether the Sound blasterx g6 is capable of driving the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, so finding you having both is such a luck! Can you please tell me how it is to drive the Arya stealth using the G6? Does it get to a loud and good sound?
Hi Joe, I've recently started gaming on a PC and I'm curious: if I'm using Steelseries Sonar, do I still need a gaming DAC for my headset? The audio seems solid to me, though I lack your level of expertise. I'm using the VZR Model One connected to the audio ports of my ROG Strix Z790-H motherboard. Any suggestions on a good DAC if it turns out I do need one? Appreciate any insights!
Holo May, Bliss Stack with Caldera next please for ps5 gaming xD
How i use dac with elgato streaming setup? Or with something like bridge cast? I know you can select monitor out to dac in wavelink but i heard it add latency so its not good for gaming.
Can you suggest a good amp/dac to drive the HD 6xx or Hd 660s2?
Could you give us some EQs for the Stealth Pro for FPS games like Rainbow Six Siege?
Hey man, what do you think about the Fiio K5 Pro Ess, it's 50% off right now and at this price I wonder if it's about the best thing you can get right now ? Thanks !
Which would be best for the vzr model 1? That might be my next headphone and I'd like to get the most of it
I was actually looking into the Fosi K5 pro so im glad this one was included in your video. Do you know which gaming microphones are good plugging in directly to ps5? I bought the Fifine AM8 but my friends tell me they hear static while i talk. I did some research and reviews on the Fifine AM8 and it sounds good on when i hear people use it. Not sure why my friends hear a bit of static when i use it on my ps5
I lean towards Antlion mod mic systems. There are three versions to choose from, but they are hands down some of the best you can get. antlionaudio.com/
Any advice on how-to get the g6 to work in direct mode please, I've plugged in the optical from the tv to the g6 but no joy
Can the HEL2e get as loud as the Soundblasterx G6, when using High gain for both for higher impendance head phones like the DT770's?
What are your thoughts about pairing an EPOS GSP 600 with a Corsair Sound Blaster G6...
Hey I got Creative G6 on my PC, and i wonder what is the best way to play video games on windows 10. Should i use dolby atmos for headphones ? Use G6 in direct mode - stereo ? Use 7.1 gaming setting ? I am really confused.
Do any of these support sidetone/ mic monitoring?
Would i need a dac for iem on the ps5? Or would simply connecting them (truthear x crinacle zero) into the dualsense edge be sufficient? If so which dac would you recommend? Its for playing warzone.
Side note I’ll be using the controller’s mic to start and see how that sounds before getting an iem cable mic or a stand alone mic not sure yet
What would be the best gaming dac for 6xx hd ?
Interesting for me would be, what headphones can u drive with only a dualsense or edge controller.
Will dt990 (80 Ohm) or even HD560s work?
Is it possible to compress the sound on a ps5 like loudness EQ can do in windows ? For example with a go xlr or some mixer that has the ability to compress the sound ? So that quiet sounds get loud, and loud sounds get quiet
Hi so I recently bought the vzr model one and the sound blaster g6 but I am experiencing allot of microphone feed back to the point where all my friends hate me being unmuted any solutions?
My PS5 stopped recognizing my Schit Hel 2e for some reason. I was rocking the Meze 109 Pro with it, but I can't anymore since no sound comes through.
Hi, do you happen to have experience on SS gamedac gen 1 PS5 setting ? My current setup
pS5 hdmi > hdmi optical extractor > gamedace
Ps5 setting
Output - AV amplifier. 7.1 channel. Linear.
Gamedac - off DTS.
Thanks
I game on PC, I use a yeti blue mic and Sennheiser HD560s, is there an amp/dac you would recommend to improve this setup?
is that a cheeky ZMF Atrium in the background
Which DAC/AMP would you recommend with an H6Pro open back?
In case you’re wondering, the dualsense edge has a better microphone amplifier than the standard dualsense.
I tested this with my iem headphones
How big of a difference? In also use IEMs. Worth the controller upgrade?
@@algol6ful not worth it if you’re not playing competitively. Don’t waste your money
If you’re playing competitively, it’s worth it… especially FPS
@@willy7968 Thanks. Just casual on the PS5. Save the competitive for the PC.
Will the KSC75 cable fit into the the GameDac Gen 2 or do I need to buy an adapter for it to fit?
Do you know if the volume can be controlled with the ps5 controller of mediaremote when using a usb dac as a preamp dor active speakers?
is there is an Audio improvement going from the schiit fulla to the schiit hel? im deciding between the two.
Any thought on mayflower arc mk2 ?
Having used Astro A40 mix-amp since 2019, I would like to upgrade my sound for mainly FPS gaming (MW & WZ). You kind of hinted at the G6 for all the features including EQ support. What headset would you recommend for imaging and soundstage to pinpoint footsteps?
h6 pro is basically audio wallhack for fps out of the box, pair it with amp and you'll get more.
Do you have any tips on how I can get PC and PS5 sound together?
I'm only interested in the sound. The microphone is not important on the PS5, only on the PC.
Is there a GameDAC for this?
Or what do I need for this?
Hello man ...i use pc 38x for ps5 .....what u prefer topping dx3 pro or gc7 sound blaster????
I missed where you talked about why you are using the Edge controller? Timestamp?
I currently use sennheiser 660 on PC with a topping D10 DAC / Loxxie P20 AMP. The D10 doesn't have ps5 compatibility. Is there anything you would recommend to make it work? Or is it a case of me buying a new DAC
I actually used the K5 DAC with the VZR Model One and it has a terrible problem with cross talk. You could hear the game audio coming through the Mic. I tried different cables and still had the issue. Ended up returning the K5 and just using my Mobo for now
What would be the best budget amp for gaming and music listening, I heard the G6 is not good for music...
Hi, is it posisble to use a dragonfly cobalt on the ps5?
I'm assuming most of these DACs are good for PC use as well correct?
Here in Europe the price for the Schiit HEL 2E and the Creative X5 is the same, so which one would you prefer ?
The ifi uno I think might be a better option then the zen air now
