The difference is night and day when the surround is turned on with the Mixamp. I'd have to ask if you have it set up correctly if you can't hear much of a difference. The DS4 headphone jack is good on convenience but is horrible for gaming because you simply cannot accurately hear which direction the sound is coming from. It's either coming from the left area or right area with stereo.

I don't think there's a huge differences and yes, it's connected properly.

Okay. To each his own. I agree with Stillhart though. Watch the video of the different types of surround and see if it really does sound different to your ears. I can hear the difference so I guess I'm just surprised when others can't.

I saw that video awhile ago and I didn't notice any big differences.

Perhaps it doesn't work for anyone.
I personally think DSPs are essential for a great gaming experience but as you said, to each his own.

I was thinking of getting a pair of Sennheiser 598 or pc 360. Will that be a big improvement on my Sennheiser RS180 or just a waste of money?

I forgot to mention that I also have a Dacmagic plus. So Im not sure what would be best. PC360 with some dolbyheadphone soundcardand Dacmagic or PC363 with Dolby headphone. With PC363 i wount be able to use the Dac or amp?

I use my sennheiser u320s with a arcam r dac over rca..optical out from ps4 to arcam r dac then rca to headset.. you won't be able to use anything with dolby headphone with your dacmagic!

From what I understood I can use Toslink from a Dolby headphone soundcard into my dacmagic then headphones and benefit both Dolby headphone from soundcard and sound from dac?

Very few soundcard allow this (like Xonar U3) and it's PC exclusive. There's no device on consoles that allows it.

Ofcourse I play on a PC =) why would you need good sound on a console? No real servers and everything lags anyway. Doesnt real matter if the sound is correct.
You cant do that with a soundblaster soundcard? only asus versions?

I don't know what other soundcard support it.
I also completely disagree with your console statement and sound totally matters...

I dont know how it is now but when i played console there were no servers. One player hosted the game, and that was the only one not lagging. Could get killed behind walls etc but in reality on his screen you werent behind the wall. But I didnt come here to bash consoles, im sorry.
 
Has anyone tried PC363 and PC360 + soundcard and amp?

I have a gaming pc with two 7990s with pioneer susano with s81 8.2 surround speakers and a 84 inch sony 4k tv built for battlefield only and a ps4 i use with a 24 inch monitor and arcam r dac with sennheiser u320s mate.. if you want the gaming headset for bf4 get the pc363 but I doubt that you will be able to use your dacmagic but not 100% sure on that!

I already have a pair of rs180, feels like u320 would be a downgrade?
