I returned it, so unsure but I assume it would.

@rice guru I figured out my issue. Apparently, somewhere in the chain of GO XLR > Headphone Amp > Headphones, my L/R split was being swapped. So everything on the right was in the left ear, and the other way as well. I swapped the RCA's on the headphone amp to be backwards, and everything seems good now

Headphone out, as per the manual. 3.5mm to RCA cable into the I input on the Monolith. Again though, if I remove the amp, the positioning is much better. Could it be the RCA to 3.5mm cable? Was there a specific pair of headphones you'd recommend above the rest for positional audio in a game like siege? I know you gave a bunch of recommendations, but was there one that'll stand above the rest?

@rice guruHey, just wanted to give you a heads up on how the monolith is (got it today). So far, it seems alright. Positional audio is still a little weird, as an example, if someone is directly in front of me, or directly behind me, it sounds the same. Trying to identify what floor the person is on is also difficult. I know it's not the GO XLR, because if I plug the headphones straight into the GO XLR, I can hear positional audio dictating floors and direction, it's just quiet. It's also possible that the audio is just louder, and I'm over compensating for it in my head. I intend to give the amp a fair try, as it's already miles better than the 789.

@rice guru 02, or monolith? The Monolith is out of stock on Amazon, but the o2 is available.

@rice guru The stereo from the 789 made it so that everything was 100% to my left, or 100% to my right. I got no positional audio using it. Was I doing something wrong? Or is there something I'm missing.

Hello everyone! My current setup is a Go XLR for streaming, and the headphone out to my headphones. Previously I had HyperX wired headphones, and upgraded to Sennheiser HD600's for their comfort, and better sound stage. The headphones are great, but obviously underpowered from the GO XLR (it's rated for 150 ohms, the headphones are 300.) I tried the Drop + THX AAA 789, but it converts everything to pure Stereo sound, which doesn't work for Rainbow 6 Siege, my primary game. Is there a headphone amp I can use, that will keep the surround effect that the game gives? Budget is $500-, but if something cheap will do the job, then that's great. TIA! :)

Thanks for the replies. I'll likely do one 2080ti for now, and update once a card can handle it.

Not just for gaming, just making sure it'll match the rest of my needs too.

For reference in case someone knows the answer but not the specs, the G9 is a 5120x1440p and 240hz with Gsync.

I'm getting ready for a new build, 10900k, 64gb of ram, and the Samsung G9 monitor. Will 1 2080ti be enough to run games like COD and Rainbow 6 at 240 or near it? Would a second 2080ti make a tangible difference?

I built my friend a gaming computer using partially hand-me-down parts, part new. We found he has some bad ram slots and I was looking into what upgrade made sense. The current system is a 4970k Msi z97-g55 sli Amd 5700 xt 8gb of ddr3

Like 3 day shipping.

Mines 2580xx, shipped 1/5/16

My number is 2580xx, and still nothing on my side. (Ordered the first day, but after a few hours.)

I ordered mine after a few hours... Hopefully I'm in the first batch or two....

Purchased a 5930k from this (on the day it launched.) Nice upgrade from my 4670k... Now to get a motherboard and DDR4.... On other news "Please allow up to 6 weeks for shipping" - Ugh....

There's a lot more on the website (to some degree), As long as it doesn't say Marketplace above the price, I can still get a discount on them. If there's nothing decent there, I can also just ignore the discount part, and go for the best recommendation.

Hello all, I'm searching for a pair of headphones for gaming and for music listening purposes. My budget sits around 300 dollars, but I have a weird request, if at all possible I'd like a pair that are available from Best Buy (I work there, get an employee discount). As for what I'll be doing, I listen to music, primarily Punk rock, Metal, and music with a lot of drumming. I also play a lot of games, not listening to the game sounds, but rather talking on Mumble. I'm not opposed to something like a mod mic on a nice pair of cans. I'm also in a fairly quiet area, so maybe open back? Thanks for any help!

Push harder, or send pics. "It won't go in" doesn't say much.

Thoughts on referb monitors?

a 34 inch ultra wide is the same height as a 27 or so. The size of this ultra wide just makes it a weird size.

This monitor in person is a tad short for my liking height wise. It's an interesting monitor, especially for 200, but it's a weird size to me.

Updated all drivers, CPU isn't hitting 100%, RAM isn't hitting 100%... Not sure.

There isn't one. It's a laptop, but a fairly dated game like World of Warcraft I would assume would perform decently on an i7 alone.
