I didn't know people even used external sound cards on consoles.
Doesn't Astro bundle an external sound card with their higher end headphones marketed for consoles?
Yeah they price matched due to Slickdeals, the deal made front pageAmazon and bestbuy has then on sale for 74.99 also.
Looks like a DAC with EXTREEEEME GMR paint.
I used a Turtle Beach DSS for a while if that counts. It provides simulated surround sound. It can sometimes be helpful in online FPS games, but if you're looking for immersion, it really doesn't add much
Screw it decided to pick it up
I figure worse case I can return it if I end up not liking it
I have this and would not recommend it for consoles. I haven't tried it on my PS4 but was underwhelmed on Xbox one. It does sound good on PC though.
For consoles I also have an Astro mix amp, which I really like. It also allows you to,dynamically adjust the mix between chat and game sound, which is a major key for PS4, especially.
i've been looking at getting something like this for my pc (some sorta dac/amp). any recommendations on one that isn't gamer looking?
Yeah, look at Schiit products, like the Modi DAC and Magni amp.i've been looking at getting something like this for my pc (some sorta dac/amp). any recommendations on one that isn't gamer looking?
An internal sound card with a headphone amp would work. I'm using a Xonar DG and it sounds great
well i really want the audio control knobs to be on my desk or else i'd be more inclined to try an interna solution
