Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
Oct 6, 2013 at 4:58 PM Post #17,146 of 48,566
For anyone who owns the SkullCandy PLYR 1.
 
I am experiencing a Netflix Ps3 app issue where starting a video with 5.1 audio selected resulted in no audio. No other games or apps on PS3 did this nor does my Xbox 360. Switching to stereo and back to 5.1 fixed this but still annoying to have to do.
 
Ccan anyone else with a ps3 reproduce this?

So 2 things have happened:
1) my audio-out jack on my laptop somehow broke, leaving it so unless I push down on the headphone jack I don't get sound in the left ear
2) I just ordered an oculus rift, in which non-surround sound audio is very immersive breaking.

I'm wondering which usb plugin to get. I was looking at the Xonar U3, but I'd like something that can't be broken while on the go. Is there any dolby usb that comes on a small cord instead? Or is the Xonar U3 strong enough to handle a little bit of pressure?

Coincidentally, the U3 also comes with a small usb cable, so you dont have to attach it directly to the laptop, so you should be fine.

  Are there any pros and cons to using a DSS2 vs the Astro Mix Amp?
Which one is better?
 
I'll be running a PS4--->Bi-Frost (Uber Analog)--->Little Dot 1+--->Shure SRH 840s at the moment.

The Mixamp uses Dolby Headphone, as does the original DSS.  The DSS 2 doesn't use Dolby Headphone, and has a different surround DSP.
 
With either one, you won't be using your Bi-frost. The DSS or mixamp has to be the DAC.

Just toggle the Dolby button off and the on again. The Plyr has a problem when the audio signal switches from pcm stereo to dolby. Toggling the button on the base should fix it, though every time you switch the audio it might happen. I mentioned this on the review, though when it came to going from the XMB to a specific game.

All the ones I mentioned on the front page will work well with the 990 Pro.

Wonder what the Creative Aurvana Live! 2 will be like. Trying to find some really comfortable circumaural phones for games and dance / pop music, but haven't got a clue what to get under £100ish. Comfort is really important for me, anything with deep/soft earcups and lighter weight would be great.

I'm more curious about whether it will have Fostex bio cellulose drivers, or if Creative went elsewhere.

  What amp do you think would be a good match with DT990P/250, Magni or O2? or something else?
Click to expand...

Both the Magni & O2 can easily drive 250-Ohm headphones (DT990), so go with whichever is cheaper (Magni).

Mad, have you ventured into finding a portable yet? Or are you saving cash for something mysterious... :wink:

I know you're missing your ma900 very dearly...

I can't afford anything, but I have been eyeing the black Senn Momentum On Ears every day now. They are what I want.

I thought you looked at those a while ago and decided you wouldn't really use them.

I did cancel the Momentum though. Thanks to Chicolom for basically pushing further into not wanting them anymore. I really wouldn't have used them much. I DO want them, but that is more impulse than any real benefit to me.
