Console Audio Setup Suggestion

[shafirpl]

I am kinda noob on this topic, I have a creative soundblaster zxr installed on my pc and usually use Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro 250ohms, akg k7xx, sen hd 6xx or hd 598 and I am pretty satisfied with my soundcard. 

However, I used akg k7xx on ps4 as well as Xbox one s, and they sound okay, but nothing like my pc level(considering the fact my pc has a good sound card). So i was looking for a good DAC/amp combo for my ps4 as well as Xbox one s. Budget is a bit tight and around 200 CAD (Or 158 USD)

 

I did some research and found out about astro mixamp pro, and I heard good and bad things about it, on the other hand, schit stack is a bit too expensive for me. So I am looking for/open to any kind of suggestion.

 

I an basically a casual gamer who solely use console for single player games. So no multiplayer or competitive gaming will be played on those setup.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would double check that a dac/amp works on a console, haven't heard either way about it.

 

If you are certain it works, I can suggest the Topping MX3 for $130usd.  I got this for my blind friend and it works decent, it should power your hd598's at the very least.  I never ran my cans on it though so not sure how powerful it is.
