Thanks for clarifying. Now to find some aptX low latency headphones :headphones:

Thanks for the quick response Yethal. I'm glad I checked before ordering the BT-W2. So the only way to connect Bluetooth headphones to the X7 would be to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the left/right line outs or optical out (depending on the transmitter) on the back of the X7?

Hi fellow X7 owners. Quick question regarding the BT-W2 adaptor. If I connect this to the USB port on the X7, am I right in assuming this will allow me to connect any Bluetooth headphones I have? I normally use my wired AKG 712s but as the new owner of a puppy (whose addicted to wires), I...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has contributed in this thread. It took a while but after reading the entire thread I took the plunge and got my X7 just after Christmas. Paired with my shiny new K712s (upgrade from Mixamp + HD558s) the sound is simply fantastic with my PS4. Updated...

Along with posts from @Yethal in the X7 thread. This post perfectly answers what I needed to know. Thank you sir. Just ordered the X7 as an upgrade to my Mixamp. Currently using HD558s but will be upgrading to some K712s to go with the X7 when it arrives.

Brilliant, thanks for the help.

I think this is where I am getting confused (Dolby Digital vs Dolby Headphone). If I choose DD on the X7 I won't be getting a virtual surround DSP when using headphones? It would be stereo 2.0? The DD setting on the X7 is is for actual 5.1 speakers not headphones. To get virtual surround with...

Thanks Yethal, I appreciate the help. I would rather not add any further post processing and just use the DD bit stream from the source. This would mean I wouldn't even need to activate SBX, is that correct? I do not want to sound whore or amplify footsteps via an EQ. Just a nice immersive...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Why would some of the default settings need to be changed? I thought if bit streaming the DD from the PS4 and using the DD mode on the X7 I wouldn't even use the SBX option on the unit. Or do any tweaks you make in the control panel also effect the DD mode as well?

I'm just about to place an order for the X7 as I'm looking to upgrade my audio for gaming (PS4). I too currently have a Yamaha V373 but find the audio out of the headphone jack lacking. Stereo is ok but the Yamaha surround DSP isn't the best and I tend to use my Astro Mixamp for the Dolby...

I've noticed a few things with the background static when using a separate mic with the Astro Mixamp Pro.   My setup:   PS4 Optical out > Mixamp Pro PS4 USB > Mixamp Pro   Sennheiser HD558s connected to Mixamp Pro via 3.5mm.  Sounds wonderful (fantastic headphones).  Now, as with most...

I too am in a similar position. I wish to use my HD 558s into my Yamaha AV receiver for game audio and then find a way of using a clip on mic for chat audio. As it stands the only way I can achieve this is to use an Astro Mixamp instead of using my receiver. I do not own a Mixamp and neither...
