Using this for FPS PC Gaming - I think my onboard Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec is leaving a bit to be desired and I have to crank to max volume with these. 3D Positional audio is important for my FPS, I also listen to plenty of music.
What are some USB DAC/AMPs that you would recommend?
I am looking @
1) Schiit Fulla 2
2) xonar U7 MKII
3) Fiio E10K or K3
4) Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 USB Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp and Integrated Beam Forming Microphone ( I do like the built in Mic, #1 &3 will require an extension for the Mic. )
5) Aune T1 SE MK3 or MK2 (Maybe Used)
6) MixAmp™ Pro TR (thoughts? variations on this one?)
7) HiFimeDIY 9018 or the 9023 (significantly less money)
8) Syba Sonic 40$ but recd by Z reviews
My price limit is <$100, Is there anything else I Should consider? Any comments on any of these?
cyrushardingIf the mic extension is important to you, it definitely will limit your options. If not, I would recommend the Fiio k3, the Fulla 2, the Micca OriGen G2, or the 'Monoprice Headphone Amp' for a bit less.
