Mobius has a more-than-adequate onboard DAC/amp and you would be using it via USB when you’re playing a MMO so battery life shouldn’t be a concern.
I had this idea too... I wasn't sure if using one soundcard as SPDIF input and then the Mobius as output was possible. In my mind I ruled it out form working by assuming that the incoming SPDIF would only decode and only send it to it's own output. I would love to hear if this works as a solution. I currently use a Creative X7 and my PC is hooked up usb and the ps4 is connected SPDIF. It would be a very simple solution for me to be able to use the PS4 in 5.1/7.1 if widows allows you to chose the X7 spdif as input and chose the Mobius as the external sound device.To get away from all the he said, she said commentary has anyone got an opinion on a shower thought of mine?
HTPC (or even the desk pc etc) with SPDIF in.
Xbox/PS4 etc
Video => HDMI => TV
Audio => Toslink => HTPC (multichannel audio)
Mobuis => USB => HTPC for the multichannel audio and all the goodies we want.
Any holes in this idea?
Dolby 5.1 tests on YouTube still provide the most convincing surround sound I’ve heard out of headphones even though they’re technically 2.1. These headphones really open up and become spacious with the 3D setting enabled! I only listened with 3D off for a few seconds but the soundstage is much larger with 3D on and the sound is overall better.
No concerns with listening to 2.1 content the majority of the time. Works perfectly fine with the 3D settings!
Are you using 3d manual?
Got my Mobius in Copper today. Sounds fantastic with my Razer Phone with 24bit FLAC. Using V-curve EQ at very high volume will cause distortions. The hissing is much more prominent when using 3D audio, even at moderate volume. If 3D is off, the hissing almost goes away. There are other modes you can try out as well. I've only tested it with music listening on my phone using the USBC to USBC cable.
It is very comfortable to wear. The cups are plush and soft circumaural. Grip strength could be a bit stronger. If you bend over to grab something quickly, it could come off. Weight is non issue for me. I can wear these for hours. Tried variety of music genres, These can handle them all faithfully. Let your ears adjust to them.
There are many different modes and combinations to try out using the audio and mic volume buttons AND toggles (rolling the button back and forth), and the 3D button. I turned 3D off and mode to MUSIC and HIGH REZ. Sound signature is similar to the LCD-XC as they're both planars, accurate and quick (tight). But still cannot compare to the XC, and rightly so. But still sounds so good.
Don't you have a friend with a PC and Netflix to let you try the 5.1channel recorded movies? You will be really impressed.The sound coming out of Mobius via Bluetooth 2.1 even for movies is incredible. Some of the best I’ve ever heard. Can’t imagine what true 5.1 via USB sounds like (will test at some point) but anybody planning to use Mobius with devices other than computers will not be disappointed with the 3D effect.
I think Audeze made the right choice fixing the hiss since it isn’t incredibly pronounced but definitely noticeable.

The only oversight is the complexity of the headphones’ controls. I sold my other early bird to a friend (with no markup) and he needed some handholding to use the headphones. Audeze has excellent support so it shouldn’t be an issue if consumers need help but I’d say in advance to be prepared since I think a number of consumers will need assistance of some sort.
After playing with it more I think an iOS/Android app to control presets/3D settings and even inputs if possible would go a long way. It’s really not intuitive to switch settings without taking the headphones off.
I see, this is excellent to hear, it will sound the same then just turn off the battery, that makes sense, I don't know why I didn't think of that. My laptop has a Type C port, so can I just go type c to type c in wired mode when gaming? Then I just hit the 3d mode button and away I game?
They are going to come out with apps for Android & Mac later on, but they won't come out with an iOS app since Mobius is not compatible with those devices via USB, only AUX & Bluetooth.
I am very much looking forward to apps on those platforms and hope it's not to long after launch because I have Note 8 and mainly use iMac Pro & Macbook Pro, haven't had my gaming PC running since December, I really have to get around to hooking it back up before I get Mobius, so I have got a couple more weeks probably to do it before arrival.
