silverears, One does not need "surround" headphones to enjoy dolby atmos for headphones. All you need is a good quality stereo headphone, preferably with a large soundstage for open world games, and activate the license in dolby access app in microsoft store. Dolby atmos for headphones will...

Have you tried starfield? it automatically outputs audio based on default windows device, so if i'm using SMSL-8 DAC which is stereo, i can never enjoy starfield using dolby atmos for headphones like i do with battlefield, because starfield only outputs in stereo. Do u know a workaround? All...

more headshots and sneaking behind enemies with the M1570?

Tried software solutions like: Redscape, Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Unbound? More than good enough for all my gaming needs with stereo headphones.

Can you please do a quick test with this video and tell me which one of the two gives a beefier and more resolved bass during cannon shots:

Chastity has your M1570 so ask what is he using to power it, and just compare the power output in wattage. If your amp outputs the same wattage then no need to upgrade. Also check if he is using balanced output with balanced cables. I was having my doubts with your HE400se power, what is the...

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. So I assume you will keep the M1570 for competitive gaming out of the bunch or look for an upgrade within $400-$500? Since you don't like it to be warm, i would still say try the DT1990. Ideally, 1 open-back headphone for close quarters FPS...

it turns out bluetooth can't receive 5.1 signal to begin with. So answer should be no.

Thanks but that's too much of a hassle to setup in the livingroom. I already have the BTR3K which takes me 60% there, just need it to be able to receive 5.1 signal via bluetooth and convert it to HRTF stereo. I wonder if such bluetooth receiver exists. I even wonder if 5.1 sound can be...

Does this output an HRTF-embedded stereo signal to connected stereo headphones, while the source is playing a 5.1 signal? Just like dolby atmos for headphones app does on PC?

Anyone knows of a bluetooth receiver like the Fiio Btr3k which we can connect our stereo headphones to that can also receive a 5.1 signal and output an HRTF-embedded stereo stream? Just like dolby atmos for headphones does on PC.

I am only speaking for myself but maybe you can keep the music impressions short as this is a gaming thread mainly.

Say while playing a single player game which one is more immersive, has better rumble, and more details? What is the main difference between the two?

2 headphones with good imaging and without the need of an amp, i can suggest: -Beyer TYGR300 -Audio Technica AD900x I did not test the TYGR300, but i did test the AD900x, and while it delivers what he needs to perform well in competitive shooters, it does not have the best sound quality: it is...

the dt1990 can go on sale, or can buy it used, has a big B-stock market. You ordered the M1570 right? which is $600 MSRP so i though you can also try the DT1990...

I was only referring to competitive FPS games to be tested for his open back headphones with a focus on accurate imaging. In your case, TH900 vs LCD GX, which are not the best for competitive, i would follow a different approach and test them for: - bass quality: which one has a more immersive...

Jdefalconr, If you like dt990 for competitive gaming, you might as well try the dt1990 as an upgrade, and it's within your price range after you return what you dont like. Looking forward to your feedback on the HE400se vs DT990 vs M1570 in fps gaming. Chastity, i already have M570 and only...

I would try to eliminate all possible variables other than the headphones and do this: Choose the right game and stick with it during testing: One with properly recorded sound cues (Example: BF1, BF5, Overwatch, Counterstrike) and Not games with controversial sound quality like COD Warzone and...

thanks. My unit is dead, not responding to power on, power reset 10secs, or charging. Is there anything i can do? Plugging it to PC and it was not recognized. I did not attempt firmware upgrade, it just died after watching TV via bluetooth.

my btr3k just died after 1 week. not turning on anymore, not recognized by the PC...I didnt even attempt firmware upgrade. Was just using it normally for TV watching via Bluetooth and it suddenly stopped turning on or respond to charging attempts.

thanks

the English instruction page is not loading. can someone copy paste the firmware upgrade instructions here please?

anyone has instructions in English on how to apply the firmware after downloading v1.3.zip from fiio support page? It is all in chinese. My device is the BTR3K.

Uhm i already said i know what codec is running. Asking about bit rate n sample rate.

How can i know at what bit rate and sample rate am i receiving audio over Bluetooth when watching Netflix on TV? The fiio control app doesnt say, just shows codec name. (LDAC or SBC)
