I'm getting one but haven't tried one yet. I have tried an E5... And an X7, Mixamp, Mixamp 5.8, DSS, Yamaha receiver (with Silent Cinema), Recon3D, Omni 5.1.
I'm expecting the G5 to basically be an E5 with Dolby decoding, and an LED that dims based on volume setting. If it has any surprise capabilities, good, but a console-aimed E5 will already be a step up from the Mixamp in DAC, amp, and background noise quality.
So the G5 will be an upgrade from the Astro Mixamp Pro, right? Can I also use the G5 as a straight forward amp with my AVR or is this not going to be possible?
The more I read about it the E12 really seems to be a nice high quality option and I am sort of leaning torwards getting one over an X7. Since the G5 should be released shortly I will wait a little longer and see how it compares to the E12 however.
