I'm a little new to all this audio stuff, just wondering if this configuration makes sense.
I'm planning to buy an Astro 5.8 Wireless Mixamp, and I want to connect it to my Xbox/PS3 and PC. So I bought a Xonar DG so that my comp has an optical connection so I can connect it to the mixamp.
Question is, will I see improvements moving from the DG to the DS/DX?
They support 7.1, while the DG is 5.1, does it even matter since I'm using the Mixamp to simulate 5.1/7.1 anyways?
So essentially the Xonar DG is there solely for the optical port.
Or will I see an improvement with the DS/DX+Mixamp.
Also I will be using headphones mainly (HD555/AD700) as I only have z2300 speakers.
Thanks!
