PS4 with 3.5mm x2 Type Headset...
I'm confused about the prior response you got because my understanding is that if you have the ps3/4 astro chat cable which is a 3.5 to usb propriety cable and very difficult to find, then you are good to go for chat on both ps3 and ps4. It should not be a problem.- Cole Doe

I know. I didn't mean the question to be a direct response to his advice about an additional amp but moreso as a general question while I had his attention, before I make my purchases. I am still deciding between buying a used 5.8 and dealing with all the nonsense that comes with it or just...- Cole Doe

@Mad Lust Envy Do you think the EQ on the mixamp 2013 would be any help with the bass of the Dt770's?- Cole Doe

PS4 with 3.5mm x2 Type Headset...
That's a great find. Thank you. Unfortunately after reading through it, I still have no idea how to do it. I guess either the receiver does not split the signal when using hdmi, the manual/setup isn't very clear, or I'm just dumb =/ I'm thinking I will be using the headphones and...- Cole Doe

Not anymore. I bought the receiver in 2006. It's an Onkyo 604. Old amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-SR604-Receiver-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B000HD7FGM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395862933&sr=8-1&keywords=onkyo+604- Cole Doe

PS4 with 3.5mm x2 Type Headset...
Thank you. So I will ask a dumb question now, given this info.. why would anyone want to pass the mixamp through a reciever? I mean why is that even an option on the mixamp? It seems doing so defeats the purpose of the mixamp? With this info I am thinking maybe I will actually just get a...- Cole Doe

I do have a 3.5 to RCA laying around, but I was thinking optical out of Ps3/4 to optical in on the mixamp then out of mixamp and into the receiver. I have no idea how to actually make that all work when my receiver currently receives the audio and video for both the ps3 and ps4 via hdmi input...- Cole Doe

I have a question about the mixamp set up. I didn't want to start a new thread given that this seems to be the right audience, though it is somewhat off topic. I was just wondering if I should be running the mixamp through my onkyo receiver? Would my receiver be acting as am amp in that...- Cole Doe

If I understand everything correctly, you can connect any headset and any mic into the ds4 using a y 3.5 splitter. Chat and game audio will work just fine. You just won't have surround sound. If you want surround sound you need a mixamp. An example of a mic that you can...- Cole Doe

I understood, my previous post was specifically talking about the ps3 only and why mic to usb splitter would not work with a mixamp but it will with a receiver. I just don't understand the difference between those two situations Man this stuff is confusing and convoluted. And yes, of...- Cole Doe

Yea so see I am really confused why the same wouldn't be true if I was using a mixamp for my game audio instead of my receiver. In theory shouldn't it not matter and work the same way?- Cole Doe

PS4 with 3.5mm x2 Type Headset...
I feel stupid because I am having a hard time following, and I'm sorry if its frustrating. I just thought all the posts I read indicated that the ps3 could handle chat via usb and game sound via hdmi/optical at the same time. I mean that is true right? If I wasn't using a mixamp and just used...- Cole Doe

Earlier in the thread I thought someone was saying that on the ps3 they were able to use their headphones through their receiver (with a dolby headphone jack) and their separate mic plugged into a usb stereo/mic adapter in ps3. I just wanted to confirm that this set up would not provide game...- Cole Doe

Ugh I think I am wrong about this. The cable that allowed chat on the ps3 is discontinued and not available anywhere. The fix seems to be only for the ps4 , as it connects to the controller. Can someone confirm that chat on the ps3 won't be possible with the 5.8?- Cole Doe

If I can only find the 5.8 bundled with an A30, is it worth it to spend $180 in order to have the 5.8? Maybe I could just sell the A30 alone $50ish?- Cole Doe

I found this post by Mad Lust Envy in this thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/641250/astro-mixamp-impedance-question-double-amp-and-proper-headphone I'm not entirely sure what that means for the DT770 80s, but I find it hard to believe they would not work with a mixamp. I think it means the...- Cole Doe

Help for a Newb (M50x vs DT770 80?)
I may use the receiver for movies, but the headphone jack doesn't have dolby headphone so I will need to go through the mixamp for gaming, I'm not sure how the mixamp handles the 250ohm, I know nothing about all of that. But I will also want to be able to drive them from my ipad and galaxy phone...- Cole Doe

Help for a Newb (M50x vs DT770 80?)
I would like to have closed. I've wanted the bose QC for years. I would just never spring for them. So now that I am doing this I thought having passive noise isolation would be a good compromise. I live on a main road and the traffic can get so loud. It would be nice to drown that out. Also...- Cole Doe

PS4 with 3.5mm x2 Type Headset...
Yea I think I answered my own question. It always worked (with a 3.5m Y adapter) because of a link between the usb/power on the receiver and a usb port on the ps3, it was only the ps4 that needed a patch job, right? Sorry, it's taking me a minute but I think I'm getting it... Now to find a 5.8....- Cole Doe

Hmm I just thought of another question. If I am able to get a 5.8, I know the 2.5 to 3.5 adapter cable will fix chat for ps4... but what about ps3? Will chat work on that?- Cole Doe
