usb headphones using dac

[Matanel Ohayon]

Hello everyone

 

If i connect my headset via USB there is going to be any difference if i use DAC like gsx1000(connected by 3.5mm)?

 

if i use the headset via USB does the signal come in digital way? and if so where its converted to analog?

 

Thank for you help

oh well, the headset has an analog input, so there is might be some benefits if you using a dac,

maybe, i dont know how good the integrated dac on the headphones is and if you having little to no issue with the headset usb input i guess its fine buy if you just stick with it

you maybe can check the feature on that dac and decided if it was worth of your money

Seeing how thats a wireless headset there will be no gains since the signal is digital up until it reaches your headset where its internal DAC and amp will turn it back into analog for the drivers. The 3.5mm jack on the headset is only for the removable mic and as such it offers no audio input into the headphone portion. 

 

External DAC's only benefit headphones that have analog input through a 3.5mm or 6mm jack since those headphones do not contain a DAC or AMP inside of them. The entire purpose of the DAC is to convert digital to analog so going from a perfect digital signal from your computer to an analog one to digital again will do nothing or cause problems. 

 

TL;DR You're setting cash on fire if you buy that DAC without analog headphones.
