Amazon has the newest Mixamp Pro on sale for $80 and I was going to order it but it seems overpriced to me. I have a PS4 and after reading this thread I'm interested in using headphones as well but I don't want to give up my 5.1 system for stereo headphones. So I started looking for Mixamp Pro alternatives and I came across the Turtle Beach DSS and DSS2. Since it was only $11 used, I ordered the DSS from Amazon along with an optical cable for $6.
While I wait for my equipment to come, I was wondering if anyone on Gaf has any experience with the DSS or DSS2? Is the DSS2 better than DSS and are both comparable to the Mixamp Pro? I just want a device that can convert the stereo audio in my headphones to surround sound. I don't think I'll need a DAC/Amp because I'll be using my Pendulumic Stance S1+ and these have a built in amp, but is there an external AMP you'd recommended? I was thinking of getting a FiiO E10K for my PC but if there is a (cheaper) alternative to that I'd also like to know.
