    Xbox series x audio - any chance of dac/amp compatibility in the near future?


    Any plan to "open" the USB compatibility? It's pretty spectacular that the 2020 xbox has such a degraded audio compared to older version, all due to the USB audio out. I understand omitting optical out option is cost effective, but I cannot believe Xbox is satisfied with the audio quality currently available on the Xbox Series X. I also understand that the majority of buyers are not that concerned with audio and as such, I understand I probably won't get any positive feedback on this. But at least let me flag this problem.

    Will XBox Series X support external DAC/Amp hardware via USB?

    I am far from an audiophile but recently have taken interest in improving my audio. I invested in a pair of Beyerdynamic mmx 300 2 (based on the the dt770 model). The sound is great but I was looking for a dac/amp with mic input that I could use with party
    chat that would be "future proof" with the series x and the loss of the optical output make it complicated.

    I was maybe looking at the xblaster g6 but at the moment it doesn't seems to support the party chat and not sure will be compatible with the series x.

    Anybody would have any advice for an amp/dac outside the the astro mixamp which I keep hearing very mix review.

    Again, I wish we could get someone from Microsoft to take an interest in getting some answers for us. I'm pessimistic about the relative priority that will be given to sound devices and expect we'll be stuck with "official licensed products" using proprietary
    hardware and connectivity protocols.

    On PC this would be an easy problem to solve--there are myriad options from which to choose.

    One possible approach would be to use a DAC/Amp with integrated microphone controls like the Schiit Hel: https://www.schiit.com/products/hel

    Another approach would be to use an audio-only DAC + Amp stack or combination DAC/AMP then use a USB mic, for example, for chat. I use a Blue Yeti mic for chat and any of several DAC + Amp stacks that I own for audio. This works great if I happen to be
    playing a Windows 10 game, and it works OK if I happen to be using streaming to pay an XBox game through my laptop, but it has serious limitations and doesn't work at all straight from a console.

    The best answer I've had for pure XBox One gaming was to build my own headset from a Focal Elegia heapdhone with a modmic, then I plug that straight into my controller. It works, but I'm sacrificing audio quality by going through the controller, and plenty
    of headphones require more amplification than the controller could hope to provide.

    No further backward-compatible releases are planned as the team prepares for the launch of Xbox Series X. Reportedly, the Series X will be fully backward compatible with any release on the previous consoles, so there is a chance that it may well be playable.

    Is there any chance MSFS for Xbox series x will compare with pc on a near future?

    2 grand on your pc and still cannot get 60fps, what are you running a potato made of gold, i never drop below 60 4k, and my pc cost at least 500 less.

    Is there any chance MSFS for Xbox series x will compare with pc on a near future?

    No, there is no possibility of an external GPU, because Xbox doesn't have any ports for it. The good news is that the Xbox version is designed specifically for Xbox, and has the performance of a high end PC.

    The game performs excellently on Xbox Series X, I play it on both my relatively high end PC and on the console.

    What do you feel you're missing out on?
