Adding just a USB Port alone won't work. The headsets are built to work with windows drivers so it needs an OS kernel to communicate still. Besides you'll end up bypassing the DAC. The whole point for this device.
A device like this would be made for analogue and nothing less.

That's what I was thinking would happen.
I thought a USB headset basically meant it had it's own soundcard, and that would clash with the point of this device.
This device is geared towards users of higher end analog headphones anyways. I think USB headsets top out at the Senneheiser G4ME in quality, and the $200+ mid-fi cans are a tier up from those.
Reposted this on a few PC gaming and audio communities on Google+. Hopefully we can get this baby rolling hard.
Also maybe it would be worth it to make a youtube video explaining this. Perhaps from one of you guys who actually have viewers not like my poverty channel lol.
Update: Also posted a thread for this over on Guru3D's audio and hifi forum.
My body is ready. I'll link this on the guide once I get on the computer.
And for the love of god, have more than ONE digital input. Gamers tend to have multiple consoles, and having to buy an external switcher or swap out cables is a hassle.
Here are some features the device would need:
- + Optical/toslink input
- + Support for Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding
- + Support for Virtual Surround Sound encoding (such as Dolby Headphone, GenAudio Astoundsound, etc.)
- + Audiophile grade DAC section WITH a line-out
- + Headset and chat support
- ...
Here are some additional features requests for the device:
- + Multiple digital inputs
- + HDMI input
- + Digital Equalizer
- + Support for DTS decoding
- + Digital output of processed signal
- ...

HDMI input, please! S/PDIF is fine for most recent console gaming purposes, but then you have to take the Wii U into account, which doesn't have S/PDIF output and would force me to decode a Dolby Pro Logic II signal over analog for surround...
