If a movie has Dolby Atmos or Digital, Dolby Headphone and SBX will do the proper virtualvirtual s on headphones.

So DVDs will almost all work, and some Blu-Rays will, though I think most Blu-Rays are encoded in DTS.

PS3 had a way to bitstream Dolby even with a DTS encoded movie, but ps4 doesn't.

Basically, ANYTHING Dolby through ps4 will do proper Dolby Headphone or SBX.

Is the amp in the X7 good enough for the AKG 712s? How is it for music?

I found it easier to to use Cyberlinks PowerDVD for all my Blu-ray disks, works great for DVD movies too.

Does some one watching movies and series with virtual surround? (Dolby headphones or SBX)
Or it's just good fit only with games?
Because today I am watching movie on ps4+Tritton 720(Dolby headphones) on my desktop speakers connected to Tritton and when I turn on surround sound its come too different from original sound.
Does anyone using virtual surround sound in movies? An does anyone using it on speakers, or this VSS only for headphones? Thanks

2.0 speakers or 5.1 speakers or other?
Assuming it's 2.0 speakers.
How do you have the Tritton connected to the speaker exactly?
If you put the speakers on your shoulders so they are working like headphones speakers, does the sound improve?
I'm fairly sure surround sound processed for headphones is different from how surround sound would be processed for 2.0 speakers.

Do you already own the Creative Labs X7?
Do you already own the AKG K712?

What are you supposed to set SBX surround to? I've seen some say 100% for the HD800S that I use

no planning on order the AKG's in a few weeks, trying to figure out what to pair with it for mostly gaming/movies and some music

Interesting why Sennheiser dont made ps4 support for GSX1000?

On a totally different note: Damn The Division 2 has some nice HRTF/Binaural feel to it's audio. My teammates' gunshots feeling a bit "thin" is my only complaint.

I keep checking in the room to see if my son or cats are doing some mischief, when it's just some random crap falling over ingame during a gunfight.

The PS4 doesn't output multichannel from the USB port.

I use the HD800S and I never found that to be the case. The imaging is there, it just makes the flaws more apparent. If there are flaws. I think they are excellent with SBX. Maybe it's my amp? (Black Label). Although I don't know why the amp would really make a difference with the imaging quality.

I say 100% because the difference between say 66% and 100% in terms of reverb isn't noticeable, but 100% pushes the positions further away from your ears, making it easier to tell which directions are coming from. Unlike GSX and Dolby Headphone where going to 100%/Max noticeably degrades the sound quality compared to a more moderate setting.

An amp can make a considerable difference in soundstage size. I loved the original Schgiit Vali for it's velvety yet sharp sound, but it made the left/right extremes seem closer to my ears than whatever solid state amp I had compared it to at the time (may have been the Magni).

 

[Fegefeuer]

I agree. Staging is absolutely a thing with amps. Width, heigh/tallness, depth, black background/cleanliness, how good it handles the drivers (power, attack, decay ettc). They all add up.

So The Division 2 does it's own HRTF? If so do you just need to select the "Headphone" profile in the audio settings and make sure any additional hardware or software VSS one might have is disabled?

I've been playing it with the "Home Cinema" profile and Atmos for Headphones and it's good, but not great.
