As for worries about the build. how do you know its cherry picked? This isn't the retail version. It's very much prototyped, with missing features and final tweaks. The same thing happened with the Mobius. It had things that were improved on release. This is why I didn't want to make initial impressions. They are NOT indicative of final product. Sonically, yes, but things are still being worked on.

Sorry, you are right. I don't know where your sample fit in the validation process. Hence, I should have shut my big mouth.
I am just mildly annoyed at Audeze because they keep saying "we expect to ship any day now", while everything indicates they are not there yet.

I am glad you are helping them come up with a product that stands the road.

Hey stupid question but for the people that play on PC and Console do you have multiple headsets or do you use a headset with low ohms to plug into the controller

thanks

Multiple. ATH-AD900x for console and HD700 for PC

Two more question on the topic of PC and Console. I am looking at getting the ps5 whenever i could find one in stock. I was debating on at the moment getting either a Schiit stack (hersey + modi 3) , but the cost is kinda high with shipping and duties to canada. I was also looking at the Topping E30 + Liquid Spark or the Topping L30 and the Topping E30.

First question any combo better then the other? I am also open to any other suggestion
Second question how would we go around not having an optical port in the ps5? Can we connect with usb?

thanks for the help

Hello All, does anyone have any recommendations for a mic that can be used with sound blaster x3 and x7. I have a wireless mod mic but the sticky pads keep falling off and I'm tired of charging it. Any advice is appreciated.

Guess it would depend if the PS5's operating system comes with drivers that work with the USB interface chip that your DAC (DAC/amp) comes with?
Which me myself have no idea.

Would be perfect if it had a flip up mic

I bought this Astro hdmi to optical adapter just in case I need to use my Astro MixAmp TR or Soundblaster G6 (through optical) with my PS5. Hopefully the PS5 can connect to my Sennheiser HDV820 straight through USB and use the build in VSS.

That doesn't have HDMI 2.1 passthrough, so no 4K/120 VRR capability. Wouldn't work for me.

 

[WhiteHartMart]

Yea - what were Astro thinking - 'right, lets issue an adapter so our headsets work with the new consoles while restricting one of the features a lot are most interested in this generation' !!

 

[Lay.]

That is true. But how many 32"+ 4K 120Hz through HDMI 2.1 Gaming monitors are there?

I would be really happy if I could play fps PS5 games with 1440p/120Hz.

 

[WhiteHartMart]

Yea fair point, then again I reckon a huge percentage of Astro's clients are lounge based, console gamers who have bought brand new TVs for the new generation only to find they'll now also need a new headset to utilise all the features their shiny new console and TV can offer

Well console players will generally use televisions, and gamers looking for tvs will definitely be looking into hdmi 2.1 enabled ones with 4k/120. It's literally one of the killer features introduced with these consoles.

Knowing Sony, they won't output a 1440p resolution, meaning any 1440p monitors will probably only get a 1080p signal from the PS5.

Xbox will support true 1440p signals, which is nice.

TBH, these consoles just need to have a downsampling mode to 1440p option. I too would get a 1440p monitor if the ps5 did. Probably an ultrawide or super ultrawide.

 

[Radio81]

Yeah, I'm not betting on Sony supporting 1440 res, but it would be sweet if they did. I'm holding off for a 43" or smaller tv with HDMI 2.1 and VRR, if it ever happens. 4K monitors with 120Hz VRR are way too expensive for my budget. 1440p would be the sweet spot for monitor size and price for me.

And Astro, ugh....HDMI 2.0b...really? Oh well, just have to wait longer for one to show up on Amazon.
