Quote: Ok a couple more questions.   1. If I choose a 24 bit output using WASAPI in foobar, is this still bit perfect considering the fact that songs on a CD are only 16 bit or is 24 bit setting only beneficial when playing vinyl?   2. If I play a DTS file in iTunes, I hear...

Quote:   Then I don't get why people say to test bit perfect with a DTS file. I read that if you hear static, your not bit perfect, if you can hear the file, you are bit perfect. I purposely left the Equalizer on (which we know isnt bit perfect) and the DTS file plays normal. So how is...

Ok so I'm on the quest to achieve bit perfect sound. My setup is an Asus Xonar Dx card which goes to an Audio gd FUN via an optical cable. I have do the DTS test as many have suggested and at first I was getting like a snow noise, but then I found out I need a DTS decoder, so I went and got the...

Quote: Yes, this seems to be a common response with the K701/K702 of how the soundstage is so large that enemies seems much further away then they really are. To me, I don't see how that can be useful for competitive FPS. And then you have the blind spot with the Beyers. But from what i...

Quote: Yes, if you want to split hairs. But I like the white better than the dark color by preference.

Quote:     Quote:   As seen above, tdockweiler is assessing the headphone from a gaming standpoint as well. What he says in bold is not the first time I've heard that either. The main claim to fame with the DT 880 is the blind spot, and the problem with the k701/702 is...

Quote: Ok, that's better. I was not aware that iTunes even played FLAC as I rarely, rarely use iTunes. I tend to stay away from apple products.

It's also interesting how BournePerfect swears by the K702 for gaming, while tdockweiler says the opposite. I wish there weren't so many headphones in this world to choose from. Not really, but it would make it easier.

Quote: From what I hear, I think your right. These would be in my living room already, but the thing that scares me is people saying they have a blind spot when using Dolby Headphone, which I will be using as well.

Quote: Why do you say that? Some say the complete opposite.

Quote: Spending $1000+ to listen to mp3 doesn't make sense to me, unless you don't have FLAC/ALAC available.

Nice setup, but are you playing mp3s out of iTunes or ALAC? It seems like some overly high quality stuff for mp3s.

It's weird how some people say they have a blind spot and some people don't. To me, it's either there or its not.

Quote: This would be for FPS and for use with the astro mixamp (which produces dolby headphone)  for Xbox 360. And as far as not listing them together idk. Options my friend, options haha.

The last thread I had asked for gaming headphones without any budget. I would like to keep the budget under $400 since I wouldn't want the headphones I game with to be better than my HD 650s, or else I would always want to listen to music on them. So for that reason I would say under $400. I...
