So, with Black Friday I got myself nice pair of AKG K712, and well, I'm stunned about how good they sound. I switched from Kingston Revolver, connected to Strix Soar, and I connected my new cans to same card, as it supposedly has good dac/amp parts.
The positioning and soundstage are amazing. In Forza Horizon 3 I can hear - in stereo mode - from which side opponents try to overtake me, the music and all the effects just sound better. Same in FPS games - in Deathwing the hissing of machines and sneaking of genestealers are scary Same in Far Cry Primal - I can finally hear were exactly those damn snakes are hiding
That was best investment in computer peripherals since very long time.
Now, I'm not sure if I should get the dac/amp. Soar looks like is handling the cans quite nicely, so jot sure if it's worth the investment.
But you all were right. Stereo on good cans beats all the virtual sound in gaming headsets and beat said headsets in stereo mode
