Engineered for competitive gamers, the GSX 1200 Pro has everything you need to optimize game audio for you and your team. Like the base-model GSX 1000, this all-in-one audio processor features a dedicated DAC chip with support for HD audio, plus 7.1 surround sound capabilities via EPOS’s proprietary Binaural Rendering Engine Read More
As of 4/21/21 Amazon has it for the same base price of $250, but selling for $217, as compared to $189 on drop. Drop is $28 cheaper, you cover shipping, and you get $18.90 of rewards points for your next order. Assuming you use those points sometime, you save $46.90 minus shipping.
Oh I see. Not reels or strands of LED tape, but proper, tripod mounted high intensity video lights. Very nice.
I also do a little photography (stills) and have a couple lights, lenses, etc, but I travel for photography and lately... Family and I haven't been traveling much. So I haven't been doing much photography. Maybe drop starts doing some prime lenses or something?? Hehe
Yes, I miss Drop’s photography community! Unfortunately, their timing never matched up with my fund’s availability or my needs (I like m4/3 and they had a few Olympus drops, but studio lights and other accessories would have been great!).
I may have to return this in exchange for softbox lights, because I’m not getting the look I want... but the incomplete package may make that difficult. 😞
Not sure what would be more attractive about this amp compared to the Schiit Hel. The Schiit is the same price, has way more power, and probably a better onboard dac. The specs on this seem pretty weak...
This is a sound card with onboard amp with good hardware-based 7.1 to binaural conversion for games and movies. Granted, virtual surround has improved a lot since this product came out, but it’s still a noticeable improvement for many games and can be adjusted to your liking. It’s not intended to be a music DAC/amp.
This!
The Hel probably does have a stronger amp, but the GSX offers a surround DSP, some degree of EQ, sidetone/mic monitoring, game/chat volume balance dial, appears as two separate devices in settings (one for game audio, one for chat, so you can link chat to something like Discord easily and not have it affected by in-game audio settings), and a button to select between headphone output and [active] speaker output. The GSX doesn’t have the power to unleash a 300 Ω HD 6XX’s max potential, but it sounds great with the HD 58X Jubilee and PC37X, and the DAC is pretty good so you can turn the GSX up to 90-100% and hook it up to a beefier amp with good results.
The GSX also worked with PlayStation 4 (in stereo) and now PS5, but the Schiit Hel did not. The new Hel 2 does, but it’s still a barebones DAC/amp with a mic input added.
Drop has destroyed 10,000s of business all around the world, created a pseudo-monopoly that we have to invent new laws against, has exploited workers in a way we have to invent new laws against, and is currently a leader in global environmental destruction due to massive production, dissemination, and consunption of disposable goods?? My goodness, when did this happen?? 🤣
