Hello,
I’m a new member and have been reading the forum. I am very impressed with all the useful information here! I am getting a ps5 and eventually want to upgrade my audio equipment.
I have a mod mic and decent headphones I like that is a wired 3.5mm set.
I am wondering, would it be terrible to use a usb dongle like the ugreen USB adapter to get 3D audio and the mic inputs from one USB port? The headphones are 48 ohm. I was thinking about using this until finding a better solution. I would eventually like to get a nice set of headphones that would need a dac/amp setup, but want to wait until either Sony sorts out the hdmi pass through or supports uac2.
In the meantime, thanks for any advice you have to offer!
As long as the USB adapter is supported, I can't imagine it will disappoint you, the main problem is the signal won't be as clean, and you will likely have hissing or some other feedback, but until you try something of higher quality, you would most likely be perfectly happy with it.
For example I'm double-amping for my XSX, it's outputting over analog (through my monitor) to a DSS2 (really cheap gaming amp at this point), and to be honest this is working perfectly fine for me, I'm still on the lookout for a better and more native solution, but until I find one, I can't find fault with this.
