The first time you use 7.1 and hear the footsteps behind you in Tarkov and turn around and shoot your enemy, you will realize how awesome the GSX 1000 actually is. 7.1 is not a gimmick IMHO, it is a game changer and that would be the real reason to use this over another AMP/DAC in its place.

[@rubenpoveda9254]

If this costs 10% of its price, I wouldn't mind putting one on my desk, but 200€ for it its a clear no-no.

someone talking about gimmick gamin product (headphone amp)whilts using "gaming headsets" praising them tells a lot.....you're talking bolocks mr.

[@donkeediq]

I have the first version of the GSX 1000 from Sennheiser paired up with the Epos h6 pro open back, i run it on 7.1 with the E sport mode on and everything else off. To me its night and day! Without the GSX 1000 my headsets sound too quiet. I really like the Esport mode because it takes away most of the punchy bass so you can hear footsteps and everything else clearly and the 7.1 mode makes it sound way more immersive and open.

To me, one of the big selling points is the option to toggle between outputs. I regularly switch between my headphones and active speakers, and being able to do that with a click of a button instead of messing about in my Windows taskbar is a big convenience improvement. I have tried to find other DAC's that provide this option, but doesn't seem like a common feature. So I have one of these coming and will be using it with my Drop PC38X and Ruark MR1 MK2 active speakers.

I have the last generation. This has no changes just looks a little cleaner. The surround sound is pretty good compared to most. So if you have the older one wouldn’t upgrade, or if you want one get the older one. It’s probably cheaper.

[@guybrushtwood]

I’ve actually enjoyed the 7.1 surround for music. Not always, but it’s cool to have. Presents your music in a different light. Not a better sound, but an alternative

[@Anton_Jermakoŭ]

So it can do the same things nova pro wireless can do, riiiiight

[@Boemtie]

The Techne with the truthbombs baby!

[@iSpenC]

LETS GO!! And keep on going as we pass on this product 😂. I’m too excited for the Maxwells anyway to be looking at this.

[@simonrockstream]

Love the way you talk about audio man, keep it up. Really enjoy your reviews and all the stuff you show us

[@Apenoot696]

Yo Techne, usually agree with you... but honestly I love tweaking and options, not like you have to use them! Audio software can also be super beneficial. Steelseries Sonar is honestly great, it works with any 3.5mm headphones and standalone condenser mics too. Totally kills background noise on my Røde mini and great EQ. They should release their gameDAC gen2 separately, probably a lot more value for money than the Epos.

[@SpartanOfLuxon]

Another amazing vid Techne! Love my Epos

[@twztdnips1170]

I bought the epos h6pro closed a month ago from your recommendation and really enjoy them for gaming. Did not like the gsx300, using a soundblaster ae7 now and am quite happy. Very loud and can get many different eq's for any audio experience

[@yodummy]

I have the first edition and i love being able to just switch quick from headphone to speakers. That and when my friends come over they always say, "Whoa, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT"?? The surround on good headphones is awesome, I love the thing and it looks great stacked on a separate amp.

[@juanorejel5578]

I have the 1000 amp and it's insane! You can hear people coming from a good distance!!!!! Especially with the 7.1. Super immersive sound and the best! I have it paired with the epos h6pro.. best combo! Trust me! Buy this amp

[@michaelengelby732]

I love the extra features and that it is plug-and-play, no software needed. It has all the functionality I need with the exception of a customizable EQ curve. But honestly, I love this review. Very straightforward and speaks plainly to what is likely the typical gamer / consumer. The extras just aren't needed. The FPS mode is the most gimmicky IMO.

[@thewitcher1]

I have the previous generation and honestly, I just set up in 7.1 mode and never touched it again (don't like to tweak too much with reverb, etc since it lowers the sound quality)

[@breakies]

So how does it stack up against the Creative Soundblaster X4? Because new its 50-70€ more than that and for 200€ it gets stacked up against the iFi ZEN DAC V2 which will pretty much wipe the floor with it. Its in a weird spot where its feature packed, but for a small audience that actually needs those.

[@garethg8226]

My main headset is the H6Pro Open back. I have had the 1st GSX1000 years but have not used it for a long time. I use the Fosi K5 Pro which has a mic input too. It sounds great and it only cost me 90euro (i'm in the EU so had to import from the US). Highly recommended.
