Playstation
500+ Head-Fier
So I bought another cheap dac because I wanted one that also had usb input. Also, considering the PS4 slim doesn't have the optical output.
Someone had told me that even if the dac has it's own ac power adapter, and it's own volume knob, that it wouldn't be any louder than the loudest the dualshock 4 can get it. Well, they were right, and, it's not even as loud as the dualshock 4.
This is bizarre to me because when I'm on my PS3 super slim, using direct optical into my other dac I was using for optical. The volume knob on the original dac does indeed raise the volume quite loud. I've yet to try the new dac on my PS3. As I said I bought it primarily for the PS4.
I feel I am back to square one. Where I would need to plug the optical audio into the t.v. Especially, after reading a reply from MLE about the poor quality of tv optical output.
Back to USB vs optical. More data is carried over USB 2.0 than optical audio, correct? Yet, for whatever reason the PS4 won't allow you to adjust the volume any higher than their OS allows? Seems like the PS3 is better in this regard. Odd.
I'd like to keep my new dac, if nothing else but for a backup.
If I have to run any cables to the tv. I'm wonder if there are any HDMI to toslink, or HDMI to usb type b.
How do I get louder volume than what the PS4 allows? SMH
