If I plan to run the Beyerdynamic DT 990 off a console controller, is the only logical model the 32 ohm?

 

[PurpleAngel]

So your planning on buying the DT990?
Soundmagic (32-Ohm) HP200, I prefer the HP200 over the DT990.

Look what came in today!

It's also going to be my next review.

Was waiting on iFi, but ended up just buying it outright from Amazon.

edit: You know whats freaking cool? It works on PS5 through USB AND it has a workable mic on the unit itself!

Nice! The iFi Go Blu is likely my next BT amp purchase. I need more power than the Fiio BTR3K offers, and really like the simplicity and size of the iFi.

So far, it's been a nice surprise. No white noise, lots of volume even on a 6XX, USB dac/amp works on my phone, PS5, etc, it's been solid.

So yeah, for those looking at a usb dac/amp for the PS5, you have another choice, and it works for on the go Bluetooth. A bit pricey, but since I travel a lot these days, I think it's worth it.

My main use case for the iFi might be different than most, but my PS5 setup would be:

Creative GC7 > 3.5mm to BT transmitter > BT to iFi Go Blu
Modmic wireless, headphone of choice

This is so I can transmit SXFI. I have tried the SXFI Theater headset from Creative, and the SXFI effect is subtle compared to what you get with the SXFI amp or GC7.

I've been using the BTR3K for this, and it works ok but as I mentioned more power would be nice.

When you review it, if you could touch on the range and BT stability, I'd appreciate it.

So my friend tested the range earlier today and between 2 walls and it was stable up to about 30feet. So I think with common sense, you can expect a pretty darn good range for a setup like yours. So if your transmitter is like in the middle of the home you're in, you should be perfectly fine anywhere in the house.

I know MLE is a big fan of virtual surround sound, but I have question that I have not been able to find info on. When using Atmos, Sonic, Wave, Redscape, or Sony Tempest at the system level (PC, XBSX, PS5) should a game that has 3D or SS in their audio tab be off or on? Does it work in conduction with system setting or double process it? Thanks for any help! Driving me nuts LOL

Double processes it. You should only use one.

Choose whichever sounds best for you, but yeah, don't use system level and game level audio options together. One or the other.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the only game i can think of that’s has a Dolby Atmos in game option under audio. I have to double check. I assume it’s fine to keep Atmos on the XsX at the OS level as well?

You should just test it yourself. It'll be easy to tell if it's double processing.

Thank you both so much for your responses! LEGENDS

Hmm, so I ended up getting a cheap Apt-X low latency transmitter to use for my TV to send audio to the iFi GO Blu. I do have optical being sent to the Creative GC7, which does SBX surround out of its optical out to the transmitter via optical.

Works fine, though Apt-X Low Latency does have some periodic 'ticks' and little sound pops, though very minor. Doesn't occur on other codecs, so it has to be the codec's lower buffer. I'll take these little audio glitches over the ever constant Astro Mixamp 5.8 hiss. Doesn't happen much, but will happen once in awhile.

Time will tell.

I'm trying to find a pair of high quality wireless headphones to use with my PS3 (yes 3, I'm playing some "vintage" games), and I've been running into a few issues.

1. USB wireless tends not to work with PS3. I've tried a couple of USB wifi headsets that the PS3 identifies, but does not send audio.

2. Bluetooth is laggy. I have the PS3 routed to an AVR that does not transmit Bluetooth. I've tried a headphone jack bluetooth transmitter with aptX to send Bluetooth 5.2 to a Razer Barracuda X (headset is Bluetooth 5.2 but NOT aptX) and that's too laggy. Is aptX really fast enough?

3. I don't need a microphone.

4. Budget is wide open, I'd love to get really high quality sound if possible. But wireless & low latency is more important.
