ok, so i think a few of you have this console; i've had two of them but ended up selling; but now (GOW....cough.......) i think i'll get me another one, and here's the score: i'm going to be setting myself up with a nice external dac (zhaolu with upgraded headamp most like) and i'll attatch the xbox to it
so all's well and dandy for playing off live, but when playing on live the score is different since i have to get the sound going through the phones, not the headset, AND i need to somehow attach the microphone (or a microphone of some sort) to my headhones; i will not buy "headset" headphone cuz the PRIMARY purpose of the phones is to indulge me in rapturious music, and secondly for games
so, i've done it before with some problems; i know in dashboard you can set games to play voices through your "speakers" (i.e. phones in this case), the problem i had was the volume of folks' voices was rather low, not sure how i'd change that
so:
1. i'm trying to decide what phones to buy; this is a not the big question cuz i'm sure i'll cycle through different types; i've had k701 and grados and want t get dt880, dt990, hd650, blah blah
2. do i either hack the mic on the included headset apart and duct tape it to my phones? or do i get another mic? i know there's a wireless mic coming out but i don't want to pay for it and it probbably wouldn't help things anyway (unless you think it would, i'd consider it)
does anyone do this right now? of all forums, someone has to do this eh?
when i have a dead-sexy outboard dac and headphones, it would be criminal to play games on live with my lousy polk speakers and t-amp (ok, not lousy, but nothing special), so i'm hoping to work this out
thoughts?
