EPOS GSX 1001150 Gaming PC Audio Amplifier 2nd Edition

There are many AMP/DAC available around, lower, a little higher than this product.I put them in three catagories. Basic Amp. This will be Stereo read from PC USB - the onboard motherboard sound card is totally bypassed. This is great because they change digital to analogue much better than even high level onboard sound. Can't go wrong with this. No software, it simply makes the sound as intented, even with spatial elements, and it greatly increased the max volume.2.DAC/AMPs, these have a DAC as above, but aditionally they provide various sound processing (DSP - 7.1 surround and more.) This processing is handled by software installed on PC and set by user.The problem is the software usually is useless. Too many obsucre options, and just doesn't work well unless you really know your stuff, and you choose a brand with software that does work if used correctly.3. This item. A full DAC/AMP with software programmed as Firmware on the product itself. No PC silly complex software. There are not many of this type.So, this item is excellent in my opinion. You can use 7.1, Direct 2.0, 4 preset spatial profiles where you can change the reverb (how far away the sound seems to be.) That's a summary. But as a person who values sound this is way better than anything else in it's price range and even higher. The touch screen is beautifully done, and within 5 or 10 minutes of checking out different setting on device (with simple guide to explain) that's it. You will have louder sound. You will have much more accurate sound. And the main selling point is it actually does create the feeling of being surrounded by real speakers, and better, spatial sound which is horizontal and vertical.Note. It will improve any source, but poor quality sound has a limit to how well it can be enhanced.Also note, they will make even cheap headphones sound better, more like, "are these the same headphones?" But it is well worth getting a decent pair of well reviewed headphones, gaming or not, doesn't matter unless needing a fixed microphone. (any headphone can accept magnetic "stick on" mic - but it's another cost.I would say for gaming a good well known pair of medium price cans. (Check out Epos/Seinnhowser) or Hper X say, the alpha, or Different brand BlackShark V2. Just make sure the headphones which are pretty much all (gaming headphones) USB, have the ability to simply remove the USB adaptor and use the 3.5mm jack. ALL DACs AMPs use USB input from pc direct but you can not plug Usb into the dac/amp dirctly, that's not possible due to the digital/analogue conversions.Finally, with a decent, but not really expensive set of headphones that can be plugged in via 3.5mm jack (some companies are starting only provide USB, awful, but they know nothing can match even the cheapest DAC which always needs a 3.5mm, or the very old 6.4mm jack, adaptor usually in the box - a really bad trend as you can only connnect to your pc directly and use their software or built into headphone DSP - they can be decent, but no amplification of sound. Works with onboard sound to so they can provide better sound than cheaper headphones, but it's limited to the onboard, or vendor software on PC DSP. Oh and the software is a nightmare usually, avoid or fiddle around with it with poor results. That is usually the case with installed sound suite software. There are exceptions, but still, they dont add extra power that you get with a descrete DAC/AMP)Summary, for easy of use, and the best spatial/surround I've ever heard this item is a bargain. Highly recommended.

音質は素人にもわかるレベルで変わります。ゲームがとてもしやすくなりました。おすすめです。

pcに直差しから初アンプ音質はとてもとても上がった。普段やってるfpsがasmrになった？爆発音映画か？て位に上がった。このガジェットかっこよすぎる。以降不満点pc起動した時に一緒に電源入る癖して接続されてない事多め、電源のオンオフのスイッチがないからusb引っこ抜いて対応してる。だるいファームウェアアップデートは無いから問題点があっても改善されない乙ってことdiscordでEpos選んだらフレンドの声聞こえない、NVIDIAの方選んで対応。まじでプロプレイヤーとかに人気なの？って思った設定保存した時の音がうるさい3つのモードが選べて良いけどfpsモードの音質はさほど良くない、足音めっちゃ聞こえるー！て事も無い、音質の良さ堪能できりゃいいやって映画モードで使ってる。FPSの為に買おうと思ってる人にはおすすめしない、映画とか音楽鑑賞楽しみたい人は買って良いと思う正直他の製品と比べてないから、総体的な感想じゃないのは許してちょ

他にも書いている方がおられますが、何故か本体にプラマークが印字されています。機能自体には特に問題ないように思いますが、少々がっかりしました。また細かく音質を設定するためにEPOS gaming suiteをインストールしましたが開くことができませんでした。Windows10でないと起動できないようです。

めちゃくちゃ買ってよかった物

画面がブラックアウトするようになる音も別に良くないゴミを高い金出して買うという感じ

すごく音が聞き取りやすくなった。fpsやるなら絶対使う方がいい。その他のゲームでも音が良くて使いやすいし、ヘッドセットマイクとスピーカーの切り替えが簡単にできるのがいい

FPSを楽しむのはもちろんのこと、イヤホンの音質アップにも貢献する製品です。他社製品と比較しても扱いやすく高級感もあります。
