Is linear pcm the same as stereo?

Linear PCM is the uncompressed/lossless format, so I’d leave it on that. Bitstream is compressed.

Yea I am on series X and it's just called uncompressed stereo on there, the other two are Dolby Atmos and DTS. I might try Atmos with my Penrose X when I get it but I think I will use uncompressed stereo because that's what the headset is meant for from what I am reading.

Finally got my tracking number! Hopefully the audio quality is as good as people say. Can anyone give impressions with replacement pads (Audeze replacement or Dekoni)? If I plan to keep these I’d prefer to get rid of the garish blue color immediately.

Is there a way to get rid of the color?

Also like the blue color

Only the Penrose is actually certified for the PS5 though. If you want to be future-proofed for PS5 use, the certified headset is safest. USB support on the PS5 is currently a mess; I should know, because I have not one, but two external USB drive enclosures that should work on the PS5, but don’t (despite both working perfectly on the PS4 Pro).

The PS5 will not work with DACs that use UAC2, which is most of the better ones. PS5 only supports UAC1 which is an older standard, but there are still ones out there.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think Dekoni pads will replace the blue plate, its only a replacement for the ear pad cup. The Audeze replacement ear pads do come with the coloured plate - I bought the carbon coloured one. Though I don't have a Penrose yet to see how it all looks yet...

Forgive me what is UAC 1 and 2?. Which does X series support do you know?

Can anyone see if they can use wireless dongle to console simultaneously with 3.5 to pc? Thanks

I have not been able to get this to work. Maybe I am missing something? I have also tried simultaneous Wireless + Bluetooth and the sound is almost inaudible from the Wireless source (PS5) and sounds fine from the Bluetooth source (iPhone). Turning down the volume from my iPhone turns down the volume from the iPhone AND the PS5 game sound, so I am unsure how to fix this. However, it sounds completely fine if I do PS5 + Bluetooth with my laptop. Not sure what's up with that. @Audeze...any suggestions?

These are interface standards used to communicate with the DAC. It is not a concern with something like Penrose but does matter greatly with off-the-shelf USB DACs.

Ah ok do you know what the series X supports?

Have the same behavior, if there’s a way to independently control volume in dual wireless that would be great.

They previously said there is not

On my phone via bluetooth 75% volume was rocking.

On pc, 100% volume isn't quite enough.

Hmm

Anyone in Southerncalifornia

Hmm

Is the app set to output 100% ?

I do not have a series x, but I don't think it matters if Microsoft requires USB audio to be certified and include a security chip.
