I’ve got T50’s and the G6 struggles to fully power them, I also want 6XX’s which will benefit from more power as well.

I find this wierd, as I’ve heard multiple people say that one of the pros of the G6 is the ability to hook it up to a high grade amp and use it only as a dac for its VSS effects. Is there no better way to hook it up to an amp?

I’ve got a question, if I want to use the G6 solely as a dac paired with another amp, what volume level should the G6 be set at?

It powers my 250ohm dt770’s with power to spare. If you want something specifically for gaming, I think it’s a great way to go.

Dang, you could always try an hdmi to component adapter.. not ideal but it’s an option. Is having a laptop or desktop by you not doable with you setup?

I also use a modmic 5. As far as I know, it can’t work with in game chat. Just party chat. When I need game chat I plug the modmic into my controller with a Y adapter. I don’t get mic feedback or great mixing settings but it works well enough!

Gotcha, if you have a PC near your Xbox, you can have it plugged into that by usb and use the Xbox app for chat. That’s what I do, as I like to be able to customize the G6 on the fly, the chat mixing options are also great.

I’ve been looking into the issue, and I can’t find anybody that’s gotten chat to go through hdmi. It seems that only the optical can output chat.. does your receiver have an optical port? Also, some said that they didn’t have chat mix options with this set up, so keep that in mind.

I’m not by my Xbox so I’m going by memory, forgive me if I’m not correctly remembering where the setting is. If you go into the settings app, then sound and display, then volume, you should see a setting there to change chat output, have it set on headphones and speakers. I know it works if...

I’m planning of getting the HD6xx and from what I understand, the extra amp power will really open them up. Plus I believe it will produce better sound quality overall.

So I’ve got a G6 but I’m also planning to get a Schiit Modi 3 and Magni. If I send the G6 optical to the Schiit stack will everything still work? As in SBX and all of the Mixing options? Would it be better to just use the G6 as a dac for the Magni, or would the Modi 3 sound any better?

Question for everyone who uses a G6, do you prefer SBX or Scout Mode when playing competitive games? Why?

Yeah I’ve been using Dolby bitstream with the SBX and I must say, it sounds incredible! I’m coming from an Astro A50, I was never impressed by it’s VSS. The G6 is soooo much better! I’ve got my pc right next to my tv so I can use the Xbox app on pc for party chat.

So I just got my G6 today! Been using it on Xbox and it’s great so far, my only question is should I be outputting stereo, Windows Sonic, or Dolby audio from the Xbox settings?

So the Xbox Mixamp will work on PC and PS4 when put into PC mode. However, the PS4 Mixamp will not work on the Xbox One, as it needs a special chip certified by Microsoft for game chat. Game audio works fine though.

Would it be possible to get a G6 and a Mixamp hooked up together on Xbox one? Having the G6 for game audioand the Mixamp for chat mixing.

Do you think adding the M3 or something similar on top of the G6 would be a good enough upgrade to justify the price? I thought somebody posted that they had successfully gotten SBX to work on console by having the optical plugged into the Xbox while the usb was plugged into a PC. I could very...

I think I’ll give the G6 a go then. The only VSS I’ve ever tried before was from the Astro Mixamp. Wasn’t bad, personally I just didn’t feel like it was a game changer.

Gotcha, well in your opinion do you thing the G6 is worth the higher price for VSS and whatnot? Keep in mind I’ll be using it on console 90% of the time.

Hey so I’ve got HD58X’s and I’m looking for a dac/amp for console. The G6 sounds nice but would something like the SMSL M3 be better purely from a sound quality perspective? VSS sounds nice, I just don’t know if it’s worth the extra $$$ if a cheaper piece can produce better sound. I’m also...
