I dont know how to start this..
I bought an Astro A40TR last year. (with the Astro Mixamp) Im thinking if it's better if I switch to Sennheiser GSX 1000. I have a Sony MDR 1R and Pandora Hope VI. As well as that A40. Is it worth upgrading? Errr.... I do have a AK120 as well first Gen. |

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ Jul 12 2017, 03:40 PM) Welcome to the club lol. For gaming GSX1000 is fine, not so much for music though. If your priority is gaming then GSX1000, if a good balance i'd go for a proper dac/amp instead. I use it mainly for my mmorpg.. Only once in awhile for Cs go and pubg.. Usually will be playing ffxiv and listening to Sawano Hiroyuki And thanks.. Haha.. Feels like I'm late to the party.. Any dac amps to recommend? Budget around 1-1.5k.. Won't buy so soon.. Just keeping an eye out. Hmm.. Just curious.. Is HD6xx really like what other say that it's worth it? This post has been edited by eugenelimys: Jul 12 2017, 03:49 PM |

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ Jul 12 2017, 04:23 PM) Sounds like gaming is a priority? If so GSX1000 is great with their DSP capabilities. The amp/dac dont really required to be a gaming one or GSX1000's DSP capabilities. my game has quite some decent music.. so I dont reall mind getting a good amp than a gaming amp.. Gaming amp aint really a priority just something I thought I should get at first.. HD6XX is great for the price, but also depends on the type of sound signature you like. I like it less with orchestra/classical/epic soundtrack types and some others due to their overly warm/thick sound with rolled off highs and slightly congested soundstage. But with vocals, etc it is quite engaging and immersive. As for gaming, it'll be either a hit or a miss depending on your preference and the type of game. I would have preferred a bigger soundstage with more extension in the highs. Is there any other options from GSX 1000? Dont really need to be gaming amp , Im using the Mixamp Pro now.. and am really eager to switch this thing out haha |
