The Qudelix-5K thread
Fellow owners; have I have it plugged in via USB and it's sounding sweet. However, as soon as I plug in the 5K via USB or hold down the power-on button the 5K immediately goes into Bluetooth pair mode. The DAC will function fine, but eventually turns off after no new Bluetooth device is paired...- Tohex

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
I have tried DH through a Asus Sonar STX and 2 different generations of Mixamps. I have had an X-Fi CMSS3D card as well and overall the GSX is 100% my preference. To be fair I never had them all at once and so I wasn't able to run them side by side but the ease of the package, as well as the...- Tohex

Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)
Wouldn't that be phenomenal if they could? It's so close to being the perfect unit already; that would tip it over the line of many people I'm sure. Alternatively, I wondered if someone could open it and mod the PCB so that the line out of the 7.1 is taken straight the speaker out. I don't know...- Tohex

Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 Impressions
I've read opinions that go both ways on different forums/Reddit. I agree that I'd like to give the HD800S the best pairing but the HDV800 is super insanely costly. It's that price vs performance ratio that has me thinking even the HD800S might not be for me; but I just want them to know that for...- Tohex

Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 Impressions
I don’t yet own a second amp; but if I do go for some HD800S I’ll likely get a Jotunheim or similar. I wasn’t sure if the double amping is every a bad thing? Do you set you GSX super low or 50%?- Tohex

Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 Impressions
Has anyone got (the balls and) the electrical know how to open up their GSX100 and modify the circuitry so that the signal coming from the surround sound chip is routed to the speaker line out connection? In essence; wouldn't this allow you to run a clean line-out signal coming straight off the...- Tohex

Hey mate I own a GSX1000 and regularly use Discord. This sounds terribly frustrating. Do me a favour so we can try get it sorted. Download and install Audacity. Close Discord and open Audacity. Set the record device as the microphone input and then hit record. Give yourself some silence then...- Tohex

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
I thought the Mimby had Gen 5? That's a sweet rig though man. It's nice to hear that though the Jot 800S might not be for everyone, it pleases some.- Tohex

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Man, thanks so much for taking the time to post. I will do some research on the different ones you mentioned and see what prices and returns are like. The fact that you didn't find he Asgard 2 a very good pairing could be telling. I always thought he Asgard 2 was meant to be warmer. Living in...- Tohex

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
I'm currently eyeing off some HD800S. I've got the opportunity to buy some used at a relatively attractive price and wanted something to do them justice without breaking the bank any more for now.- Tohex

Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
Fellas, I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a Jotunheim for a new setup, beyond the all in one and seemingly great value offering ... they also still have black in stock BUT I need a few other comments to help me round out what I'm thinking. I have the itch to try the Multibit DAC but...- Tohex

Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 Impressions
Just so I know I'm understanding this right. I'd need something like the Sound BlasterX G5 or the GSX1000 itself because they present themselves to Windows as 7.1 devices (rather than a 2.0 USB DAC such as a Schiit Modi)?- Tohex

External Gaming Soundcards - Creative’s SB X7, SBx G5, SB Omni 5 & Senn GSX1000.
I know virtual simulated surround isn’t for everyone. If you are team stereo, perhaps give it another shot after checking out this video which highlights that one of the reasons you may have thought it sounded bad was more due to the poor implementation of the processing rather than the...- Tohex
