DAC/AMP for PS5 and Switch?

[Lalapuni]

What can I use for them?

I have Creative Sound BlasterX G5. When I'm using it on PC, I get the audio through "line-out" cable and I noticed a surprisingly better quality no matter the device. 7.1 virtual surround does work quite nicely and makes the music even more enjoyable than listening on Walkman.
G5 does not work on Switch, though it does work on PS5. I've heard G5 isn't good for high ohm headphones, so I'm wondering if there are any other options with better sound and that would work on PS5, Switch.

I know there is Sennheiser EPOS - GSX 1200 and GSX 1000,Steelseries GameDAC and that's all I can think of. Which would be best? And is the difference between G5 and GSX 1000 or 1200 worth the upgrade?

Also it needs to not conflict with PS5's audio engine Tempest.

Make sure you're looking for a UAC1 device. Most now are the "newer" standard of UAC2, which will not work with PS5 and Tempest....until Sony releases an update to enable it or audio over HDMI.

Yeah, I've heard that. So far it seems like the only real option is keep using SoundBlaster?

there are a few other ones, but the G6 looks like it has a lot of good features and the SXBI (i think its called) processing doesnt really good with surround sound. i dont remember the differences between the G5 and G6 tho.
