I've never used anything higher than 2.1 so don't let anyone tell you that you need 5.1 or 7.1 to play video games. I'm sure that it is really nice, although I've never tried it.   My guess is that when yo select stereo in your game the programer may have setup some "magic" so that the...

Also if using the PS4/3 etc you are going to have to set the console (ps3/4/xbox etc) to 2 channel PCM on the digital output (bifrost) at least. This is because the Bifrost as well as many other DACs can't read/understand a 5.1 or 7.1 channel stream or anything that is encoded in dolby digital...

There is only one way to know and that is to try it for yourself.   Good Luck!!

let's see...   Optical Out of PS4/3/Xbox360/XboxOne   Optical In of Bifrost   RCA output of Bifrost (There is only one pair of RCA outputs)   RCA input of Little Dot 1+   Headphones to headphone output of little dot   -------------------------   With this setup the only way ( to my...

just tell me the exact name of the little dot and i see what i can find in the meantime.

Yes, that should be fine i just would like to see a picture of the front/back of the exact little dot amp that you have.

Which little dot did you get can you link to it please?

No, the switcher isn't necessary it is just that I have my other systems connected to it. Xbox 360, PS3, Cable Box, plus I'll use it for the new systems when they come out this year.   I don't know about a reduction in audio quality I figure it is just a optical signal with a pulsing LED for...

USB wont work because you would need to drivers and you probably won't be able to install them on the PS4   I am doing this with my PS3. With PS3 you can also enable dual output mode so that there will be sound coming from the HDMI and the Optical.   I go:   PS3 Optical Out > Optical...

I'm also on the lookout for this exact thing. I will tell you that if you get a Blue Yeti then you don't want to get the Pro version.   In order to make the pro version work with things like guitar amps and drums the engineers and Blue put a 10dB pad on the microphone. I'm in the process of...
