Quote from Shockwav3 : Can I use this for gaming |
Yes you can. It’s a high end dac/amp.
A few things to note:
1. You will need a USB A Male to female cable to connect it to your pc. The device out is usb a male. Most female A cable ends will fit
2. While it is battery powered, you will want to power it for desktop use. It does not power from the data connection, there is a separate usb C port for that. Whatever you have lying around will work, it’s robust enough to take just about any usb C power.
3. It only accepts 6.3mm and 4.4 mm headphone cables, but it does include an adapter so you can use a 3.5mm with the 6.3 jack.
4. It’s not going to work with a gaming head*set*. It does not have throughput for a mic. If you use headphones, and a separate mic, this will work. Otherwise it will not fit your needs. Additionaly…. even if you’re using hyperx’s or something and you use a separate mic… you aren’t probably going to see a lot of improvement over motherboard audio with less resolving headphone drivers.
Other thoughts: It probably won’t be ideal for consoles either. The 3D plus setting acts like a crossover in hifi or car audio terms… but it’s not appropriate for gaming. While it does make the soundstage “wider” it will cause some inaccuracies to imaging.
TU to OP, this is an insane deal on a 10/10 dacamp.
