The steelseries is what it says it is, a mixer. It will take any stereo audio and mix it with chat audio. The dss1/2 output in stereo so it will work. The thing is, it's also an amp which is why it needs the USB power and can only work when it is powered. That is where the downfall was with their xbox only mixer, it had a crappy amp that introduced hiss/hum/static into the chain that any good headphone will pick up on. I have my doubts on the universal model and that steelseries probably only "tuned" that thing for their own headsets. I may be wrong but I don't feel like being a guinea pig again.
