[QUOTE="Tenflare, post: 898315, member: 20064"] A good stereo DAC amp coupled with headphones with good soundstage and imaging characteristics is more immersive than any surround DSP. I get better positional cues playing Destiny 2 with an Audio Gd NFB11 and Monolith M1060's than I ever did with the Dolby-capable Astro Mixamp and the putrid Astro A40's. Microphone compatibility is sticking point of course but a USB mic can sound better and be less of a nuisance than a boom mic. Failing that, the Antlion Modmic or the Vmoda Boompro both allow the conversion of any headphones into a headset. If you must have surround DSP, the only DAC range that does it well for me is the Sennheiser GSX series. Otherwise a good DAC (The Nuprime UDSD is absolutely fine) coupled with your Audeze or your Hifiman will absolutely blow any gaming headset out of the water (with perhaps the exception of the Audeze Mobius but that is a whole other rabbit hole ) Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
