The amp inside the Mixamp will always affect the output/sound quality, but double amping can be a benefit and improve the dynamics of the sound.
If it helps you feel better, I have both a wireless mixamp and a DSS. Used to have a Recon3D USB too. Both the DSS and Recon3D USB have far less noisy amps, and it's surprising how loud the DSS can get.
Well, not to sound like a d**k, but you're half right. That article is about surround output... Not surround input to the card from the PS4.
thanks. so in the end you kept the Mixamp over the other options, cause it's better right? I spent quite sometime reading on this but the Mixamp seemed like the simplest solution with the best ease of use (mixer controls etc).
hmm. yea on Amp, I'm actually thinking of getting a Schiit Magni (and maybe the Modi Optical for PC use as well to make it the Stack) so I don't have to switch my headphones between my PC and PS4. can't decide though.
on that creative link, how does that work? it's for me to plug my Sound card via RCA/line out to an Amp. to avoid the amp. on my Sound card right?
