How to connect PS5/Series X/S to external USB DAC now optical is gone?

predcaliber

Hello!    

 

If there is a topic for this already, I am sorry but I am looking for a next gen console next to my PC, and I still would like to use my Sound Blaster X7 external USB DAC/AMP. This since my Sennheiser hd 650 headphone really requires the AMP power, and cant be directly connected to the PS5/Series X. (Its also a 6,35mm and I doubt the next gen console can power it at all)

 

My old PS4 I could connect directly to my X7 since it had optical/SPDIF, but that is gone now.

My free ports on my X7 are now:

RCA in and RCA out

USB in
3,5 mm headphone jack output

6,35mm jack where my HD650 is connected at.

 

 

How did you USB DAC/AMP users solve or bypass this?   Also open for workarounds and am ok with spending a little money. :)
