First time I've tried to play in a week and I keep getting "Server Error Occurred"? Even for non-UT online seasons
Sonny wtf are you doing with all that kit? How big a difference is there really with just getting a decent headset given the codec quality is likely to be the limiting factor anyway?
Codec quality is decent on every game I've played.
The DAC is actually the most important part IMO.
The controller has awful audio quality Limited by it's crappy Bluetooth controller most likely.
Apparently Sony are going to offer an update which provides full surround through USB but for now optical out is the best way to get audio or HDMI.
As for sound quality the ps4 as long as you use either of those the ps4 is as good a source as any.
Pair it with a decent amp/DAC and your sorted.
Obviously it's wasted on something like Fifa I use a Yamaha soundbar instead for Fifa.
I use MIXAMP and headphones for bf4 mainly.
Got HD 595's for competitive gaming and Fidelio x1's for immersive gaming.
Gaming headsets are when compared to proper headphones overpriced tat.
I mean a £30 set of portapros will beat any £200 or less gaming headset for instance.
So imagine what a £100-£200 pair of headphones sounds like compared to said headsets.
Also there are overpriced crap headphones out there too like Bose, beats, etc.
You need to know which headphones are decent for the money.
That's the great thing with my setup I can sell any part, upgrade any part and use any part for something else.
For instance I can use my Fidelio x1's for music/movies as well as gaming.
I can use them with my PC, iPod, smartphone or any source no issues.
They are an indoor can though. I have iems and hd25-1 ii's for portable use
