Agreed, sheesh for "openworld" games they are very very good.

Interestingly, I have been through the same process sort of. Loved the PC38X with Titanium HD as dac and amp, though the 800S did give a more "open world" feeling in game. Where the 800S really showed its capacity has been in improvements of both DAC and Amp combo's. For a general system...

Same re supporting Creative, but for now I'll be using HeSuVi's version of CMSS (As an owner of 3 Creative cards currently) so I can run a better Amp/Dac combo (I blame Chastity for forcing me to buy the Lyr 3 witha DAC card :dt880smile:) until Creative gets it's act together with a better...

I just tried the HeSuVi version of CMSS so I could hear it on the AK4490 DAC I put into the Lyr 3, apart from the DAC sounding way clearer and more seperated than the Titanium HD dac, I can't really tell the difference between the positional cues of the Hardware or software, bang on accurate to...

Oh okay re NPFG, I didn't know that.

Also: Whats the opinion on Equalizer APO/HeSuiVi and their version of CMSS, is it the same thing as creatives? Cheers

I have a new question: How do I get CMSS going with this setup? 1) Schiit Lyr 3 amp/AK4490 G2 DAC connected to PC via USB out into digital USB in? The AK4490 DAC sounds better than the Tit HD one imo. 2) I have the Titanium HD still installed on the PC and all of the software etc 3) I do have...

:deadhorse:

All good, if you get stuck, I can send you one easy as mate 👍

Here you go, New Zealand link but available worldwide :xf_cool:

SUPER SOLVED: RCA Gound Loop Isolator $15 , literally perfect MAX VOLUME ON HIGH GAIN :L3000:

SOLVED: Solved by plugging PC power ONLY into a seperate wall socket and plugging the Lyr 3 into a socket as far away as possible, clear as a bell :dt880smile: Edit: Spoke slightly to soon, its 80% better, just small crackle and mouse noise at 75% volume high gain.

Weird, I just got a Lyr 3 and have the same issue, mine is coming from the PC best I can tell, all USB devices disconnected, still there.

My understanding is both of those will work Jot 2 and Lyr 3. I have a Lyr 3 on order.

Yep that is correct.

Yikes, Schiit back orders are NO ETA 😝

Cheers for that, I kinda like the Jotunheim and the Lyr as possible replacement amps too, kinda like twins SS & Tube. I can't give up the T-HD until something actually better comes along, not convinced the software replacements are equal let alone better atm.

Roger that, I looked for an Asgard locally but no supply. I ordered a Garage 1217 Horizon 3, looking forward to it. Re the Titanium, yeah I keep it because I prefer the CMSS for open world queues, feel most natural to me. Can you run me through how to keep CMSS with something like the M300? Is...

Quick question: I have some HD800S's arriving next week and currently have my PC sound organised via a modded X-Fi Titanium HD going out through a JDS Atom and into my PC38X headset, will the JDS Atom still do the job and is there going to be any realworld difference if I replace the Atom with...

PC38X was an upgrade for gaming over the HD660S IMHO, so going with the GSX1000 + PC38X as mentioned above by @Soundmancan is a great idea.

Okay so I got it working via the onboard sound port (for a while at least, it was kinda mental and temperamental) and lost the bass and treble control I was used to via the soundcard, is that why you were suggesting full mechanical adjustment via external amp/dac? In an open world game, the...

Is it really? It sounded like an echo chamber to me, not really grounded and kinda artificial. What do you mean by proper head measurements?

Not if you like CMSS-3D... the struggle is real!

For me CMSS is just too good, I can't love SBX, tried and tried..and so far to my ear Super X-Fi just sounds weird.

Okay, so you're say "what" about the audio that gives it a win against the 37x/38x? I'm really interested.
