All I found on here was this thread http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/336303/best-headphone-ps3-setup-for-sound-quality which I didn't find too helpful, so any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically, can't afford a 5.1/7.1 setup right now, so I'm looking into headphone usage with my tv as I've posted elsewhere.
I'm about to buy HD595's (currently using HD448's) for home use, along with a totalbithead amp.
I want the best possible sound from either my tv or my PS3 excluding using an av receiver, which I currently can't afford (for a good one).
My tv doesn't have a headphone jack, and right now I'm using my 448's with a female headphone rca adaptor with an extension cord + a volume control, and I'm -very- underwhelmed with the sound to say the least (my 448's are fully burned in also). Would it be better to find some adaptor for optical out (do such things exist?) or to run the rca cables from my PS3 directly into [size=small]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2627[/size][size=small] then into [/size][size=small]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5143 ? [/size]
Or perhaps the virtual surround would be best like in the thread I posted.
Any help at all would be a life saver
