Hi guys,
First off all I'd like to thank you all for the wonderful advice I've already gotten while lurking, but this time I have a question I cannot find an answer to.
I love online gaming on my PS3, especially the Call Of Duty series. For sound I use my Denon AVR 1610 receiver with a Sennheiser HD 448 headphone.
My PS3 is connected with the Denon via an HDMI cable.
For a good sound experience I put my Denon receiver on 'matrix' mode (It has a video-game mode too but I don't like the way it seems to even out footstep noises) to simulate surround sound in my headphones.
I can easily differentiate sounds coming from:
- the front
- the left
- the right
- the front left
- the front right
However I cannot distinguish sounds coming from any rear (Rear Left, Rear Right, or even plain Rear); they all seem to sound the same as if they were coming from the front.
I have tried browsing all the different virtual surround modes my Denon AVR offers when connecting a headphone, but none of them seem to make a difference in directionality...
My question is now: would an Astro Mixamp be better at this job then my Denon AV receiver?
Thanks in advance for all replies and tips!
Sincerely,
Cube
