    @becnel51 Here,s my recent update to XB1 gaming.  If you go a back a few pages here you can see some of my most recent items on chat and getting it to work better for XB1, cant help on the PS4 side but there are plenty of others that can.  One thing to note is that I game at my desk so I dont...

      Thanks man! The rack is Rubbermaid (Closetmaid) with the wood front covers. Easy to install and holds a ton of weight as well as keeping things cool and cleanly organized.  I use another one in our den for the living room components so there are no components in the living room just the TV...

    Also at CES, Turtle Beach has their new "Elite 800X". Seems to be an other step up for the wireless people out there.   I think I will end up trying out a X7 sometime.   Another idea is that I will just design my custom enclosure, print it out on my 3D printer and and combine the Rolls mixer...

      That Smyth Realiser A8 is crazy cool.... you may have just found the "thats a little much for gaming" limit on that unit. ROFL If the best hardware for good dolby headphone can be found in a small component package, Ill take it.  If not and its going to be a big unit I at least want a DSP fo...

      Yep, thought about that old unit as well. But what I'm looking for doesn't necessarily have to be from the gaming industry. Still a good unit for its price point when you can find a new and not used one.

    Full night sesh of Destiny and testing the Rolls MX22s Mini Mix complete.  For those that game with your favorite hi-fi headphone and are using a wired setup on Xbox One.   This update will not tell you how to sit across the room on your couch and figure out how to get this level of audio...

    ModMic on my DT880!

    This is way old from my Xbox 360.  That setup evolved and changed. It was the best with Antlion ModMic in the end.    Now onto custom setups on my Xbox One.  You can track that over on Mad Lust Envy's gaming headphone thread.

      Check out user salbando's post earlier to me where he describes setting the input optical line in to about 80% to bring the game volume down so he can balance the game and chat on the X7. Now weather he is using the mobile app or the PC software version I dont know.   I'm sure he'll give...

      Yes maxing it out is all you can do then dial down the optical in volume for the game in the X7 settings.   That whole reason is why I'm getting the Rolls MX22s Mini Mix. Then I have full level control. For some it may seem over kill and maybe even a cluster ****** of cables, but I play at...

      Here is a quick layout    Check this diagram out and see if this is what you're thinking on using just that Recon cable/adaptor with an X7 setup. You would be using the "D" cable from the Recon3D as a way to mix in the chat audio.  Like you said the mixing would be tricky, maybe it would be...

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    Yes the OEM XB1 chat pad when turned to full chat ( you hear a tone noise, beep, when it is) turns off the Stereo game sound coming from the controller. Has nothing to do with the optical in the console.   For a cleaner setup you could use a modded chat pad cable like we did back when the...

    No, that doesn not work at all (I tried to see if anything). If it did you would loose the mix aspect of it as well.

    Mad Lust Envy's Headphone Gaming Guide: (8/18/2022: iFi GO Blu Review Added)

    That depends. If the chat volume is mixed well with the game volume.  The Recon3D is the same as me using the Astro Mixamp for Xbox One.  Right now the issue is super low chat volume.  Also I'd like to know the sound quality of the Recon3D as I see in its specs talk of Dolby 5.1 decoding but is...

    ModMic on my DT880!

    Thanks!! I designed and made it with a few parts left over from a solar engine project I worked on back in the day.

    ModMic on my DT880!

    No not at all. Worked great.  I use Sennheiser HD 650's now which are full open and the Modmic still works great.  The mic is very precise in that just keep it fairly close to your mouth without breathing into it.  It really only pics up you.

      It was the 2011 version of the Mixamp and it dies right before Destiny came out. So now I have the newest Astro Mixamp Pro. Here is my old Xbox 360 setup, just prior to adding an amp which ended up being the Asgard and switching from MMX300 to DT880 and now Senn HD 650… as you can see way...

    With this setup, how well can you mix the chat and game volume?   I'm a long time Xbox gamer and have used everything from standard Triton - Astro - Turtle Beach setups way back before I got turned onto Head-Fi. Now for the last 5 years I've been running a custom setup and it was easy with...

    High End Computer Audio Gaming Setup

    I don't PC game but rather console. So I can only comment on the headphone side. I have at one point had at the same time DT990 and DT880. I've stuck with the 880 as the 990 were a little "light" in sound for gaming. I sold them. I love the 880 for gaming and music mix. I have the 600 ohm pair...

    Quote: Ill be going out via USB from my lapper. So the source being my work station laptop listening to mostly streamed musics and some, but very little FLAC files.  Working from home it's very convenient to just listen to Spotify all day.   I know the SQ isn't the same as anything I...

    NuForce Icon 2 vs. Firestone-Audio Big Joe III

    Down and Dirty!   I'm moving my home office to another room in my house and leaving a receiver and speakers in the old room. I work from home and listen to music all day long and I'm ready to get down on a desktop amp and some nice speakers. I've got some speakers in mind and am on the fence...
