I got my Topping E30 and L30, and the combination is insanely good, really enjoying the body of sound i'm getting through the HE-4XX now despite having had them for so long.

I bought the Dolby Atmos licence through Dolby Access, and don't hear any change at all with it enabled, unless I am watching trailers through the Dolby Access platform, and honestly they sound pretty horrid. Should I only expect Dolby Atmos for Headphones to be having an effect when using an application that will interact with it?

Any multi-channel app that doesn't use the GetMixFormat API, or has explicit speaker layout settings, should work. Spatial sound has no effect on 2-channel streams.

No mention of the head tracking spatialising function of the AirPod Pro's in this thread. Is that because they don't appear to support that function outside the Apple walled garden?

Yup. PC Gaming thread. Not Apple mobile walled garden gaming thread.

Thought I'd ask here as well as in MLE's thread:


Just found the "Sound Blaster Command" software got recently updated to include the G6, while the "Sound Blaster Connect" software is well over a year old.

Does anyone use "Command" instead of "Connect" for their G6?
And does it also allow VSS to pass through via the optical out?

Hey guys, will the combo of the FiiO BTR3K and the Takstar GM200 + Dolby Atmos for Headphones provide great audio for games and movies?

The hardware is irrelevant. Atmos for Headphones is a software product.

My current setup is CoolerMaster MH670 with Dolby Atmos for Headphones and it's great. But I also want to have a wired setup. I read a lot of great feedback about the Takstar GM200, but I also read a lot of users saying it'll really shine if paired with a good amp/dac. I'm choosing between the BTR3K and the Sound blaster X3. And I'm hoping that it'll support the Dolby Atmos for Headphones spatial sound because I just bought it from MS Store.

Spatial Sound will work up to 24-bit 48 kHz. If the devices does not support this format (or lower), Spatial Sound won't work.

Are you familiar with the Sound blaster X3? Will that work? I'm leaning more to it.

There's no point in buying a DAC or AMP unless your motherboard is defective or your headphones are hard to drive.

So I just ordered a pair of ad900x and a mod mic uni. I have an astro mixamp that I use with my xbox but what do you recommend for the PC? Should the mixamp be fine or would I want an external soundcard?

Mix-amps are fine for gaming consoles, but for a PC, a sound card is usually better.
Maybe find a good deal on a used AE-5 or G5 or G6.

Just ordered a G6, thanks!

looking to get some help with what to buy...with one caveat...

many years ago i went from a pair of crappy turtle beach p11 to logitech g933 and i was completely blown away. after a while i started thinking how much futher i could take this and dropped 500 (at the time) on a pair of steel series siberia 840 and i was expecting the same reaction but was a little dissappointed when i felt like the logitechs sounded better...especially when it came to the surrond sound.

i recently purchased a pair of audeze penrose and was expecting them to be better again but im not really hearing any difference between the siberia 840...and i have also bought 3 different things to try get that 3d audio...the 2 windows 10 ones (dolby and dts) and also wavesnx...but im still not happy.

im now considering selling the penrose and going to a pair of steel series arctis pro

am i never going to experience that initial "wow" when i moved from turtle beach p11 to logitech g933?

caveat:
- want wireless (2.4ghz rather than bluetooth)

nice to have:
dual wireless connectivity (2.4 to pc and bluetooth to phone)
