I use it in tandem with beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 80 ohm. Bought for listening to music and video games. I connected all the headphones that I could (Koss Spark, Arctis 3, NoName AliExpress headphones edition :), JBL Tune). The cheaper the headphones, the more you feel the influence of SBX profiles on the final sound stage. Different pros: Bought for video games and entertainment. You can appreciate the advantages of a sound card with a good playback device ! 1) Portability. I use it with Playstation, Mac and PC. 2) (Subjectively) My previous headset (Steelseries Arctis Pro) with an external DAC (Gamedac) did not provide such a level of sound and positioning. The audio scene gets bigger and seems to add some other sounds that weren't there before. 3) I was very pleased with the sound in PS5. There is no way to test with the vaunted Sony 3D Audio yet. 4) Volume reserve (better not to test :)) Its cons: 1) Price 2) When listening to music for a long time in direct mode (mode without software sound processing), it may heat up. 3) Volume wheel without clipping and no indication of volume level. On PC, Mac does not bother, there is a built-in indicator in the OS. Playstation has no display at all. 4) Short USB cable included. I would like TypeC. 5) In Mac OS Big Sur, sound sometimes disappears. Depends on the application. I dug into the settings, it was possible to force the application to set the audio device.
