Do you guys disable the Enhancements in the Playback Speakers menu ? does it disable the surround or anything ?

So it's been a while since I the last time I bought the Sound Blaster G5. Now I heard of these new Sennheiser GSX 1000 / 1200 device, are they really worth the price? and is it better than the G5 that Im using atm? thx.
Isn't the GSX 1000 / 1200 just like any o ther Dolby 7.1 surround sound devices out there? or it has something difference underneath? thx.
One should always disable all enhancements.
The virtual surround listed there is just Microsoft's implementation.
What you want sent to the device is true 7.1 signal which you set on speaker configuration.

I actually have both of these. The Gsx 1000 is better on positional sounds, the g5 however is much worst there is quite some bloat to it & the positional sounds are drown out by the lower frequency which dominate too much imo.
The g5 amp is much more powerful but still comes off as being shouty and sibilance, while the gsx 1000 amp is much weaker but more forgiving.
If it is free definitely try. when Dolby headphone atmos came out Microsoft wanted 15 bucks. still I got it and it works pretty nice for movies and music.How does the gsx 1000 compare to Dolby Atmos Headphone? There's a free 30 day trial for those with the Windows 10 Creators update for anyone curious.
But which one sounds better for music ? like which one has more Bass and clarity?
gsx is definitely not a 7.1 Dolby surround implementation. it is sennheisers take on HRTF, which is a fancy term for creating surround sound for headphones.So it's been a while since I the last time I bought the Sound Blaster G5.

On the creative ZXR I think if you disable the Enchantments then the Surround would be disabled . I guess it's different because it's not software right ? so there is nothing to be controlled on the surround from a driver, but only from the device itself which always be 7.1 . Can anyone test it to be sure ? I tested using dolby_truehd_channel_check_lossless-DWEU and the surround with my guess kept. just want more people to say it's true

Looking for good AMP+DAC combo for AKG712Pro my main focus is gaming(Singleplayer and Multiplayer(PUBG)) so positional audio is quite important to me. So far i have been looking into Sennheiser GSX 1000 PRO not sure if its worth the money and is it good for the 712 pro I heard its quite hard to drive and only some AMPS+DACs really make them shine...
My budget would be around 250$, also i already have a Fiio E10k, i just feel like my headphones could do better, i might be willing to pull enough money for the
Creative Sound Blaster X7 just not sure if its worth it especially since i only do gaming not listening to music
