Can Astro Mixamp (2013) power Beyerdynamic DT770 600 Ohms? I am debating whether or not to add an amp (little dot mkiii) to the equation, but since this is for gaming I do not need the absolute best sound. But, at the same-time, I don't want the mixamp to limit the headphones. So at the end of...

I'm looking for a relatively cheap sound card that is on the same level as the Astro Mixamp. Needs to have Dolby headphone 7.1. Thanks! :)

So I was settled on the Astro a40s until I read how superb the beyerdynamic mmx 300 were supposed to be compared to other gaming headphones. I figured I may as get a nice pair as they are something I would be using for years with my PS4. I'm not at all an audiophile and do not know much about...

The Astro Mixamp is a small headphone amp capable of decoding surround sound tracks so that they can be played back on standard headphones.   Does anyone have any experience with this device? I'm curious how it compares in performance against a standard AV receiver (such as a Yamaha RX). Any...

Hi,  I'm tired of the Astro Mixamp, so I want to buy something as a replacement. I've been looking at the ASUS Xonar Essence One, but it is quite expensive, so what other opportunities to I have?   I'm using a laptop. I am looking for a device with really good sound quality and the option to...

I am looking for a high quality headset or pair of headphones + mic and possibly external amp + dac that reach "audiophile" level. I would like to stay under $500 for the setup, if possible. This will be used for gaming on my Xbox and PC plus music and movies on my PC.  As far as taste goes, I...

Im finally replacing my tritton AX PRO that I had many problems with so I decided to upgrade to ASTRO. I will use their mixamp pro with the ultrasone HFI-580 for my 360 and PS3. What's a good mic to go along with this setup so I can still chat while gaming?

I'm looking for a stereo analog headset for use with astro mixamp. I've narrowed it down to three options. 1. Razer Tiamat 2.2 ($100) 2. Steelseries 7H FNATIC Edition ($120) 3. Corsair Vengeance 1300 ($60)   Please help me decide which one to buy!

I want to get a headphone for playing Battlefield 3 on my pc desktop. I want to be able to pinpoint an enemies location. I don't know if i should buy a really good stereo headphone or go the surround sound headset route. Price range $200, good isolation, big soundstage, excellent comfort for...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but have been lurking for a long time. I'm in the market for a Dolby decoder and didn't want to spend too much on what's available. I own a pair of Sennheiser HD595 and would rather game with those than with the Sony Wireless PS3 headset. Browsing through...

I have decided to buy the Beyerdynamic 990 pro  250 ohms headphones -- I will be using them for gaming FPS and general use for music , my question is I have a Onkyo ht-r560 surround receiver that I have my playstation 3 set going thru --would the headphone jack from the Onkyo power the 990's ? ...

I was looking into getting the STX to use with my Astro A40. My question is, I use the Astros to broadcast so would I use the mixamp that comes with the astros or would I lost the use of the mixamp. Would I connect the mixamp to the soundcard or its that just a waste of the soundcard. Thanks. 

I need a sound card that has   Dolby Headphone Dolby Digital Live Digital optical output   I prefer Dolby Headphone over CMSS-3D (seems to have better positioning), but sometimes, I like to game on my plasma tv and use my real surround sound system. So for that, I need dolby digital...

So quick question i saw a mod with the ath ad700 for gameing with it on xbox 360 and stuff. My horrible stock xbox mic broke and decided to look around because I want to use my Ath m50 ( the ones in the picture ^-^) for gaming since I use them with a usb mic on pc. Ik the whole thing about the...

I have been using an old guitar amp too amp the sound but it does not do the sound quality justice. I found that out by first listening to a song from the amp and then straight from my iPod Classic 5.5g and the amp is just terrible. Please list some affordable amps.   The guitar amp I was...

Hi,   This is my first post here at Head-Fi.   I've been looking for some time to buy a new pair of headphones. Been reading here on the forum a lot and can't make up my mind.   I'm interested in the Sennheiser PX 360. They seem good for portable use and I was thinking of using...

Hey guys, I'm brand new to the forums so I apologize if a lot of the questions I have asked have been answered already. If so please just point me to the correct thread :)   I am a novice audiophile, and I am looking for the best setup possible for a PC / PS3 & iPod /iPad being the primary...

The reason I ask is due to the MixAmp recently going OOS, I can however find them on Ebay less the cables. So, what cables would I need for the above setup?   And if anyone wants to chime in to the addition of the E11, please do. It seems the extra power may be needed for running the 990...

    I have a MSI 1761 Laptop with on-board Sound Blaster Compatible 3D Audio Realtek AC892. My sound card settings show stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1 and 7.1. I checked with the company that assembled my laptop, who verified that with the motherboard co. that I would support 2.1 natively, but could...

Ok so my turtle beaches recently broke and I just cannot play to my full capacity without the sounds of the game, so I was browsing online and found out that I could buy a nice pair of headphones and a clip on mic(?) an astro mixamp and then with all these in 1 setup it would blow gaming...

Hello all, Im using the Bose AE2i right now on my PC for music/games/skype calls (i know bose do not get much love over here but i love them so much) I am very picky when it comes to design and comfort, let alone sound quality, I tried many cans ranging from klipsch, sony, philips, sennheiser...

I have the AD-700 that I use for music, but with the mixamp on shooters they have very screeching highs that literally hurt my ears. Directional audio and such is fine with Dolby Headphone, but I need something with a little more bass. I actually prefer a headset with a microphone. I'd rather...
