Xonar Essence STX impedance settings for HD 650
So currently I have it set for High Gain for 64~300ohms headsets for my 300 ohm HD 650. I was wondering if people have it on 300~600 ohms. Can having a higher impedance setting than your headphones damage the headphones?- Hobsten

Quote: Disabled on-board audio, downloaded Unified Xonar Drivers, set audio channels to 2 and kept the impedance at 64~300ohm. Thanks for the help! I use the Headphone Out Port and I think that is correct?- Hobsten

I saw this other dude who could change the audio channels in the main Xonar Control panel. However I don't get that option http://i.imgur.com/OgyCIJx.png . Worth to mention is that I use the Headphone Out Port and I don't have an amp.- Hobsten

Quote: - I'm not sure where can I change/check this? - High Gain +12dB for 64~300ohm - I have not. Will it make a difference? - What does those do? - I listen to music through spotify/youtube etc. Thanks for the reply!- Hobsten

I've attached the Essence STX soundcard to the motherboard and plugged my HD650's into it. I've also selected Hi-Fi from the DSP modes on the soundcard because I feel that mode gives the best sound for music. The sound is good and all, but is there something I've forgot doing? I'm sure it is. I...- Hobsten

PC360 vs PC363D and PC350 vs PC350SE
You could always use the mic on the 360s and just use the 650s for gaming.- Hobsten

Essence STX + PC350 SE, bad for gaming?
The main reason I bought the STX was so that I had enough power to drive my new HD650 on my PC. I was basically just hoping the STX would be good for positional audio with my PC350s aswell.- Hobsten

Thanks for the reply! I will consider it after i've tested the STX. Motherboards can fit two soundcards? I have the z87-pro.- Hobsten

Essence STX + PC350 SE, bad for gaming?
I recently ordered the two because I've also gotten the HD650'S and the STX is said to be one of the best soundcards for music(with built-in amp which should be quite good). But many people say they're not good for gaming. I'm looking for good positional audio as I play a lot of CS;GO...- Hobsten

I recently ordered the HD650. A bad investment for my taste?
Thanks for all of your replies. I will consider the DT's in case I send the HD's back. Which ohm version do you recommend for my soundcard?- Hobsten

Seems like DT's are the way to go. What does the DT's have that the HD650's don't, in the electronic genre?- Hobsten
