PSA: Metal Gear Solid V is on sale at Amazon for PS4 and XB1 for $40. It's not audio gear, but it definitely has sound.

I had Target price-match.

I vouch for the game, i love it :p. Speaking of audio, yes, It has some good choice of music :wink:. Call me weird, but for some reason some of their choices of songs are good, usually not the genre I listen too, but metal gear does it again with decent music haha. If only it didn't keep crashing every 30 mins for me... Very rare for me to like music in a game.
 
How does the k7xx soundstage/imaging stack against ad700x and k701? if those two were rated as they were(10 I believe) what would you guys rate the k7xx in that perspective?

I want to get surround sound on the Wii U with my AKG K702 headphones. I heard you need an AV Receiver that supportas LPCM 5.1 with HDMI in and out.
 
Wii U -> HDMI -> AV Receiver -> HDMI -> TV

Do AV Receivers introduce input lag or display lag? Which is the best AV Receiver for the Wii U?

My M&M 2 uber stack has a hi and a low gain output. Which would be a best setup for the Superlux 681 Evo and for my awesome AKG k7XX that I'm ordering for the first time on this site https://www.massdrop.com/r/7P8F5L ? I am debating if I should order another one for by brother because there are more than half sold, but I've spent a lot recently :*(

I hope the K7XX lives up to its hype haha, i haven't been hyped on a product in the longest time.

Also, will dts X work on old sound cards too? if not, will i need a new sound card? Also when do you guys think those new sound cards come out?

What is the current best virtual surround sound mode for headphones for fps gaming?(possible sound card link thats cheap but good, I just want to use optical out to my M&M stack n 5.1 to speakers)

I haven't learned so much from a site lol before lol, I find Headfi to be the best site for anything sound related :D.

Thanks in advanced!

Just buy whichever Xonar card You can afford and be done with it, they all use the same dsp chip.

Okay, at first I thought I was going crazy but I tested it with the E18 that I recently got. The Custom One Pro does sound better on high gain. It just does. Both on the X7 and the E18 switching to high gain makes the mids punchier and the bass more pronounced. Curiously, I wasn't able to replicate that behavior with my other headphones.

Yeah, I felt the same way with my AKG K612. I bet any of the mid-Fi Sennheisers benefit from high gain too. But low impedance headphones with linear impedance curves... Stick to low gain.

Nah, the AVRs should be fine, it's the TV and a typical TV'a video processing that causes lag. Adding an AVR to your existing setup won't create more input lag.

Will this work with my Mixamp?

LMAO. 
 
On a serious note, will the new Orpheus be better or worse then my X7 for gaming? Trying to hear every footstep in the game. Price is no object.

Can someone PLEASE answer me?
 
Considering the Sennheiser Game one's or the Sennheiser HD558's with a Vmoda boompro mic. Budget is $200, I really want sound quality and don't know which headset would be better for me. Thanks
