Sounds fine to me. Zero complaints.
Hmm, so I'm trying the Slyr's mixer, Mixamp pro 2013, and 5.8 off the Slyr all on stereo mode at their most balanced preset. Looks like the 5.8 is brighter than neutral for sure. The Mixamp 2013 is fuller sounding, and more dimensional. The Slyr's Mixer sounds closer to the Mixamp than to the 5.8.
Odd. I'll have to do more testing to be sure, but it definitely seems to be the case. I'm so used to the 5.8's signature, that the others seem warmer than neutral, but in actuality, they may be the neutral ones.
I did get the Mixer to work. I'm an idiot. I didn't realize you can just press in thecenter button and it mutes the mic. The mic definitely works off the Mixer and PS3.
I was playing Castlevania HD which is a stereo game, so I could test out the sound quality of the Mixer. Seems fine. Less harsh than the 5.8 in stereo mode.
Question - are there any alternatives to the Mixamp for connecting headphones to an Xbox 360?
I think I'm going to see if I can score an AVR-254 in a couple weeks. It'd be a nice upgrade and I won't have to use an HDMI switcher anymore. Oh and also lossless audio

Question 2 - do you guys know of anywhere to buy a Mixamp in Canada? Looking for a sub-$100 model preferably... listed at $129.99 on their site for the 2013 edition.
I would suggest looking into Marantz receivers instead. I've seen a LOT of posts on AV forums about the HK models with DH having problems with their HDMI. I just grabbed a Marantz SR5002 and it sounds SWEET, but I ordered one of the Asus sound cards with DH and I'm not going to use it now most likely.
