The USB series used for these products as they are now does not power etc. the PC350 and similar products as they are not amped and such well enough for the experts at Sennheiser Communications to be satisfied with it for these semi demanding 'phones(its actually a very high quality USB dongle but its still not good enough amping etc) so thats why only the right products ship with the current USB version. And I personally would recommend at least something like your Total Bithead or good HP amping sound card- got the UDAC/BUDA my self but thats kinda over kill for this product unless you have something else for such an expensive system
Mine is bought more for the dual amping, balancing and for my HD800's. Thinking of balancing a second pair of PC350 one of these days
But back to the point - I use that USB dongle at times for PC 350 and my gaming laptop and its okay but I definatly want something better knowing how good PC350 can perform - have been poking at the guys at SennCom for some time now but I would stick to buying a PC350 if you have the money and want closed gaming HP's 'course new things takes time to engineer - a lot of time.... and blood, sweat and gaming

Being stuck in a loud barracks (full of idiotic AIT students), I am looking forward to the sound isolation. I intend to experiment with both driving them from the PC-166's USB key and also from my Total Bithead. We'll see how it all goes, but i have to wait for Christmas Exodus for any of this fun to begin. I'll keep you posted! |
