OK, this live streaming feature of the PS4 is pretty sweet. I enjoy watching people play games. Probably my favorite next gen feature I've seen so far.
My bad. Doing three things at once, lol.

Deciding between two setups, input would be appreciated. Currently have dt770 pro-250s. Two options I'm considering are:
SoundBlaster Z > Magni > dt770
or
RazerSurround > Modi > Magni > dt770
I've demo'd the razer software and it's is not too shabby for what it is. Is SBX much better if at all? This is for game immersion with headphones only, I don't like any type of software on while listening to music and I watch movies on an actual 5.1 setup.
I love DH for its superior positional cues but I just can't deal with all the reverb.
How about
SoundBlaster Z > DT770
Do a search on youtube for RazerSurround - a fair few comparisons between the technologies. Switch to stereo/no surround effects.
Was concerned about the quality of the amp, sound cards aren't known for integrating the best of amps. I couldn't find the specs of the one on the SB-Z.
I'm a fan of the Schiit stack so I preferred to go that route if SBX Pro Studio and RazerSurround relatively on par with each other in games. I don't plan on using the virtual surround software in any other situation aside from gaming.
Mad, I'd be interested in your view on Ghosts. Amazon reviews are hating on the popular franchise, but everyone I've actually talked with in person actually likes it after a few games adjustment. CoD4 with stopping power Is where I've been playing for years... so reports of powerful guns killing in two or one shots sounds normal to me, and I like the idea that the maps have multiple routes and fewer choke points. Another thing that people have "hated" but sounds like a good highlight to me is the de-emphasis on air suppression kill streaks, I always thought that the relentless airborne death took away from the regular gunplay. A mode like Black Ops' sticks and stones would be really addictive for me...
2. any better price than amazon? (160 plus shipping)
I'm having a ridiculously hard time deciding between bassport-modded Q701 with Annie earpads and Fidelio X1.Is the bass of the X1 very significantly more immersive and cinematic than the modded Q701's?
I do more SP than MP (about 70-30 split) and I don't really play "MLG style" so immersive bass is important to me, but if it's not a substantial difference between the headphones, I'd rather spend 45 dollars less on the Q701 (if someone could show me somewhere I could get the X1 for less than 300 bucks + tax, that would also be appreciated).
I'm going to be using a Xonar DG solely for Dolby Headphone and a very analytical Audio-GD NFB-11.32 as a DAC/amp in the interest of letting the headphones do the talking with no coloration from the DAC/amp. I've heard the Q701 plays nice with it, but know nothing about the X1's synergy with it.
