Thanks, will check out sxfi. Looks interesting.

I tried to install that but it's not easy......I'm not a PC guy and hate messing with windows configs and folders. I grew up with mac OS which is way more intuitive. But my gaming is setup on a PC unfortunately.

Dolby Atmos & DTS - it sounds good with spatial surround features, and built into windows 11. RazerTHX - it sounds good with additional spatial surround features, separate app. FXSound - lacks spatial surround settings but free.

Sound wise, AirPod Max via bluetooth sounds great with AppleTV4K, as it uses their Dolby Spatial features. However, it is not comfortable after 10 minutes. It's clampy and the "Closed Back" style fatigues my ears with air pressure effects. I went out and bought the most comfortable...

I paid $1700 for a sennheiser headphone and $900 for a dac/amp because it has features that other models didn't have. These are not so much Phantoms but actual use cases that applies to my listening needs.

its the features you should shop for at the price above $200. RME lacks bluetooth, USB C and MQA support. If you need those features then skip RME.

I like the concepts of RME eq and remote control. However I use Dolby Atmos spatial EQ on my PC or Razer THX spatial surround EQ, which are better for gaming. Fiio offers these features that RME lacks. -Bluetooth 5.0 which I need for apple TV. And it has a built in EQ in BT mode. -USB C port...

I just use HD800S to kill other players in battle royale. It’s competitive

With my 300 ohm HD800s, I need a certified MQA dac amp to unwrap MQA from Tidal.

Lol. The 1000 model was released in 2012, and non audiophiles will think its old tech. Without realizing its stereo headphones. No bs software.

A rare pro gamer that now uses Sennheiser HD800s. No more gaming headsets. Looking to explore other headphones.

I use dolby atmos app on my pc. Embedded in the pc system > sound settings. Razer THX is also available.

Plus streamers use name brand $150 headsets. And easy lobbies to make it look good.

I’m Ostuni and a former gaming headset user with higher end products like Arctis Pro and Audeze Penrose. One day I tried the stereo Pc38x out of curiosity. I loved it…open backs for natural sounds. Now I use HD800s for gaming, more of Warzone. Have a big dac/amp to power it. I can help the...
