Why not just get a card with a cooler instead?

However, with True-Fi, it boosts the mids/highs slightly, in turn isn't dark. Planar's seem to handle EQ very well.

Audeze LCD-X's w/ True-Fi EQ preset is where it's at ?

What's your budget, also do they need to be powered or can you get passive speakers?

Why not go ultra wide? Also what's your price range

If you want to buy an AIO I bet it's not going to be as good as stand alone units. Do you really need something to mix the sound and voice together , also a mic input? What headphones do you have? Sensitivity w/ the impedance of a headphone will tell you how much power is required to hit X SPL I'm willing to bet that this mixamp is garbage, however this is my opinion. https://www.astrogaming.ca/mixamps/MIXAMP-TR.html?dwvar_MIXAMP-TR_color=Black#start=1

That entire stack for 6XX's?

Anything that doesn't assosiate with a company that makes gaming products. Possibly one that makes headphones.

If you want something that's real, Audeze LCD's. I went from Astro A40's to AKG K712s to my LCD-X's. The only way to get bass IMO is Planar>Dynamic.

+1 They both send a digital signal.

I’ve had ASTRO in the past, but I’ve moved out of the ‘gaming gimmicks’ and just buy a nice headphone with a mod mic etc.

I love my Lyr 3 with my Audeze LCD-X’s.

Yeah, no. OP- Try looking at True-Fi depending on your headphones you have. They have a free trial aswell. The only downside is you can't change the preset other than how much bass is boosted.

Guess it's only 1-3%.

Personally I would look at powered bookshelves or passive from companies like JBL, SVS, Emotiva etc. Since you’re going to have to send power to each one anyways, I would say search for passive with a receiver or Dac/amp as separate.

I got SVS ultra bookshelves, not sure what the price difference would be over there. If you’re able to buy directly from SVS you get a 60 day return if you don’t like them.

Schiit.

I still have my ZxR. Recently upgraded to Lyr 3 Schiit. I won't go back to the Sound Blaster. Sounds in games like BFV etc. Are way more realistic and the bass response doesn't get degraded because of the 3D reverb processes. A dedicated DAC/Amp gets you more for your money compared as well. Im interested in Sennheisers GSX 1000 however the amp on it is weak and it doesn't have line out. I have though about double AMPing it. I did use my headphone out from my ZxR to my Schiit as I got begetter headphones. However even with SBX surround, it sounds tinny and doesn't help the sound stage and positioning for my LCD-X's.

Here's my desktop, I've recently purchased Audeze LCD-X's and a Schiit Lyr 3 multibit. The bookshelves are SVS Ultra's, the MBM's are Flex 12's from AVSForum. Powered from a Marantz SR7008. I'll be buying an AMP for the bookshelves eventually :-)

The only thing I buy from Razer is mouse & keyboard. I'll stick to SVS, JBL etc. for speakers...

Your reason is because you bought cheap shit. " Logitech z623" LOL What do you expect from a Logitech product. It's got what a 6" subwoofer?

The subwoofer will only be effective if you either measure multiple locations or do the sub crawl. If you expect to place it in a corner and hope for the best you'll be missing out.

Speakers, especially subwoofers are placement dependent. Also, I would run pairs of the same subs on different walls if possible. Spread them out in general for a smoother FR (frequency response) I would also go over to AVSForum and ask there because they'll have more knowledge then this forum in general.

Maybe try out True-Fi from Sonarworks. They've got free trials. It honestly makes my Audeze LCD-X's sound much better IMO. https://www.sonarworks.com/truefi

Sensitivity is also a big factor. If you’re looking for immersion, look for a headphone like Audeze. A real planar. As soon as you add virtual surround, you get less bass response which hurts immersion more than anything IMO.
