anyone owns the ATH-ADG1? How good is the mic? Is it worth the price jump from AD700x?
Just a heads up for my gamers here:
Massdrop Sound Blaster X7 $299.99

Is it possible to use the X7 as a Dolby 5.1 converter DAC only and then run the rear line out to another amp? Or is that Dolby Headphone jack in the front the only way to get the 5.1 signal?

Not at this point, I believe from what I read they're working on this feature. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Last I read the 5.1 DSP was only processed from the headphone out. That may have changed but it's still my understanding.
Ah interesting and not surprising. It will do for now while I contemplate what to use for actual VSS. It annoys me that the MixAmp is apparently crap and costs as much as it does.

Can anyone confirm this as I don't yet have another amp to test it myself? I am still trying to decide between the vali, Asgard, Valhalla and O2 for my hd800 and my future fostex th600/900.
No contest there. Get the Valhalla 2 for the HD800. OTL all the way. Or build a Crack/Speedball, if you're up for it. You've already invested in the HD800. Don't hold it back now (no offense to those other amps, this is all about synergy).
You can worry about the Fostex later.
Or you can opt for the Lyr to run both (but you'll need to upgrade the tubes on Lyr to get the best out of it... and that can get quite pricey).

I am trying to purchase the TH600/900 within the next month or 2 though I would assume that it will be quite a bit easier to find an amp for those headphones.
would it be pointless for me to get the fidelio x1/x2 if i was just going to go amp-less and plug it into my ds4 for gaming?

im curious about this myself though i myself would be using the astro mixamp to go with it
