I have the Recon3D installed on my secondary computer. Now I don't have a G6 yet but I do have a G5. Based on that I'd say there is an improvement but not necessarily a 'major' one. It amounts to just a bit more punch and clarity. However I do suffer from a degree of hearing loss so you might notice things I do not.

Got G5 myself. What I really like is the really pure sound on both headphones and microphone lines. This far, it's the purest sound for microphone I've ever hard. Earlier I've had high end sound cards but those were installed into motherboard. My friends who makes music, recommend me to get USB sound card for best sounds, with least disorder. So I choosed USB sound card for gaming purpose, to get 3D emulated sounds for gaming. And I have zero regret for that.

@SomeGadgetGuy 5 жыл бұрын

I think it's funny. They have all this fancy modeling and 3D audio software, but the thing I like best is being able to drive really thirsty headphones with a flat EQ.

@mikkomansikka5704 5 жыл бұрын

@@SomeGadgetGuy Well, I think I can hear 3D positioning alot more accurate in CS:GO when I disable ingame emulated 3D audio, and use 5.1 from ingame/windows, and I enable 3D emulated sounds from creative. I'm using flat EQ without scout mode

@mikkomansikka5704 5 жыл бұрын

But, I don't know how the 3D Surround amount in creative goes. First I put it to maximum, then I noticied that default cs:go profile has only 30. Didn't know what to choose, so I made compomize and choosed amount fo 50, which seems better than 100. Now I tested, for me, optimal amount seems to be somewhere between 30 and 50, currently I feel 35 is best amount for me in CSGO for 3D sounds.

@bodycounter9386 5 жыл бұрын

Overall the G6 is better than the GSX1000. Especially in stereo direct mode which i use exclusively. The only advantages of the GSX are the better surround sound emulation and that it works without the bloated software from Creative.

@crazywasy 5 жыл бұрын

@@giuseppeianniello4214 hi! So you're saying the g6 is better? I only have the gsx 1000. How does that compare to the gsx 1000 please?

@giuseppeianniello4214 5 жыл бұрын

Daniel Vasile the gsx 1000 is great for playing on PC with a very good surround sound but it comes in 16 bits in 7.1 and maximum 24 in stereo hd, while the G6 comes in 32 bits and you feel it above all when you listen to music because you hear a richer sound and detailed. In games instead it is more difficult to notice the differences and perhaps the gsx sourround is slightly better as sound placement, but the G6 seems to have a slightly more detailed sound having a 7.1 in 32 bit. Having both of them, for some games I use the Gsx while for others the G6 and in the end both are good, even if with the G6 you have much more power available because being able to drive headphones up to 600 ohms reaches incredible volume levels.

Interesting. Giving serious thought into getting this instead of the somewhat overwhelming options available for USB based audio interfaces, which are great but many seem to have limitations when it comes to future proofing... A cheap interface will only take you to 44.1khz or at most 48khz. Going beyond that seems to just exponentially increase the price, with really no advantage other than needing more CPU grunt to deal with the 196khz pcm stream getting flung into your usb ports. The only limited issue I see here is simply a lack of physical inputs. That said, a small decent mixer and a line into this cover many of those bases.... Thanks for the food for thought.

This is now my primary PC audio amp and card. I love it, however, been having real issues with the software and EQ that comes with it, CLabs is notorious for wonky bad software, and this is no exception. The trouble is, it sounds great, but everytime I power up the PC after it being off for hours or overnight, the EQ setting reverts to whatever it wants, Flat, etc., anything BUT what I want it to be! This is highly irritating. I dunno how to fix it thus far. But the card itself is fantastic and is easy as hell to use. I dunno why my Dell gaming laptop audio was built-in so bad, but this solves all those issues. Gone are the days when the on-board audio was any good. This is not acceptable for a full gaming PC that costs over $1000.

@@SomeGadgetGuy If I had to guess I would say it does something to the mic, which would be awesome. I would love to play with one of those but I dont wanna spent more on audio gear, it's like a curse :(

@@SomeGadgetGuy you should look at the Mayflower Arc. It looks like it's the ultimate DAC/Mixamp.

Могу ли я подключить G6 к компу соединив с TV и 7.1 саундтбаром? Запускать фильмы на компе и что бы задействовать g6 на саунд баре?!?!?

just purchased this and it should be here sunday or monday. I currently use the Fulla schiit 2 and am curious how they will compare.

@@afaegfaegaeg9551 Worth the money. I am really enjoying the G6 and what it has to offer. I play a lot of rainbow six siege and going from the fulla2 to this was a good idea. Can tell this amp pushes my 990 pros better and the added app to control the drivers on it is great. if you are trying to decide between the two, def go for the G6.

I got the g6 but my modmic isn't working, can anyone help?

@spawnandbatman6975 2 жыл бұрын

I just got the g6 and it sounds amazing on the dt 990pros. However my mod mic is not working on this dac amp. My mic works on my hyper x headset with the g6 just not a mod mic. Not sure if its the dac amp or just a bad mod mic I got.

@timothygriego619 Жыл бұрын

are there times when the amp cuts out? and you have to disconnect the power cord from the g6 and connect it again? It happens at random times but mostly when I enter a program or any game. The audio cuts out and I have to disconnect and reconnect
