Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm on Xbox so unfortunately not many options for EQ apart from Dolby. I have the option to use Windows Sonic or stick with stereo uncompressed.

Hi all, I recently bought a pair of Tygr 300R and also have a pair of HD560S. I game on a Series X. Currently I have an Astro MixAmp as a pre-amp feeding into a Magni Heresy from 3.5 mm to RCA. Alternatively I can connect to the Heresy with my controller using the same cord just taking the...

I currently play a lot of competitive FPS (CoD, Halo) and TPS (Gears of War). Biggest things for me are hearing footsteps and positional accuracy of footsteps/gunshots. Which Beyers do you have?

I might have mis-worded my reply a bit. My understanding of it is that audio over USB isn't natively supported on the Series X but can work if manufacturers pay a licensing fee to Microsoft...

Can you share some of your neutral EQ settings that you use on the MixAmp?

Sorry, meant USB as in the USB cord to connect the Xbox to the MixAmp. My understanding of it is that is how audio gets passed over instead of with something like an optical cable.

Thanks, good to hear that works. Do you find that the sound signature gets affected by the MixAmp at all? Can you use EQ profiles on the MixAmp with this configuration? What headphones do you use? And for your Lavalier mic where do you connect that to (controller or mixamp with a TRRS...

Thanks, appreciate the response. I'll look into the Heresy also.

Thanks, I'll look into those headphones also. Good to hear the daisy chain in that configuration would work. As for the G5/G6 wouldn't I still need to daisy chain? Xbox doesn't support audio over USB like Playstation does unless it's with Astro/Turtlebeach equipment since companies have to pay...

Hello, trying to research and plan out purchasing of a new pair of headphones and wanted to see what options there were with powering the headphones. I game on a Series X which doesn't have optical out. I am planning on buying a pair of Beyerdynamic Tygr 300R, 880DT, or 990 DT but haven't...

When you have a chance could you possibly post a pic of the setup? Was trying to work this out and I think I confused myself haha.

Sounds great, thanks for testing that out I appreciate it.

Thanks for the clarification. Why do you go Amp > Mixamp? So you're using the first amp to power the headphones and the second amp for compatibility with the Xbox? Is it fine to double amp like that? Is the Mixamp alone enough to power the 58X without the first amp? Are you able to get voice...

Thanks for the information. Which headphones were you using? Would the controller have been enough to power those headphones without the MixAmp? Is you current setup; headphones > MixAmp > Xbox ? This way your controller doesn't have anything plugged into it?

I have a Series X and I'm looking to get the TYGR 300R. I noticed they are low impedance at 32 Ohms. Would a MixAmp be useful to get also or would the Xbox controller be sufficient to power these? Currently I use this volume adjustment puck from Turtle Beach with the Turtle Beach Ear Force X1...

Looking for a recommendation on a pair of gaming headphones, my options are the HD 6XX, HE-4XX, K7XX, or HD 58X, all from Massdrop. Primarily looking for something that can be used competitively and focused on hearing/positioning enemies and distancing gunshots. Games mainly played are PUBG...

Hi all, First off I've read through Mad Lust Envy's recommendations but I thought I'd seek some extra guidance. I'm looking for a headset and I'm coming from a set of Hyper X Cloud Alphas but I just feel that they are not what I'm looking for. I have trouble positioning people and I feel that...

Quote: The LME49990 needs to be soldered to a DIP 8 adapter for the STX, some people (frugalphile) on Ebay sell dual and mono LME49990s already soldered onto a DIP8 adapter which will work with the STX.

Thanks to all you guys for all the suggestions, now that I have some choices I guess I'll have to get to ordering.

Quote: I'll only be using headphones and a mic, so just 2x for the I/V then correct?   Also do you know if the Zalman ZM-1 clip on mic will connect to the STX or will I need to connect that to the motherboard?

I use the Essence STX if that is any help ^^

Thanks guys, also I've been looking on Ebay for the LME49990 soldered to a DIP8 adapter.   I've noticed there are two of them, one that comes in a pair, and one that is just as single one with 2 LME49990's soldered to both sides of the adapter.   Is one better than the other? I've been...

Quote: Should I just get 1 of the above, or 3 of them and replace all 3 op-amps?   What about for the buffer?

Quote: Thank you for the recommendations and what to avoid :)
