High-resolution stereo, virtual surround on PC
A Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC supports playback up to 24-bit/192kHz with a 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio. BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro adds virtual 7.1 processing on Windows, while the physical headphone output remains stereo.
Power for demanding headphones
The Texas Instruments TPA6120A2 amplifier supports headphones up to 600 ohms. Its 2.2-ohm output impedance also accommodates sensitive earphones, with a front volume dial for quick changes.
Your sound settings within reach
Save three sound profiles and select them using the hardware button. Scout Mode emphasizes in-game sound cues, while separate microphone and headset sockets keep connections accessible.
Check your console connection
PS4 connects over USB. Xbox One uses optical input and does not support voice communication through the G5. The rear USB device port supplies up to 100 mA for suitable peripherals.
Separate Listening Outputs from Microphone Inputs
Connect listening headphones to the appropriate front output and a compatible computer-style microphone to the recording input where required. A passive plug adapter cannot make an XLR broadcast microphone work as a powered headset microphone. Choose each cable around the actual analogue or digital connection.
Choose the Mode for the Listening Session
Use direct stereo playback for an unprocessed listening path where the model supports it, or choose the available game processing for a different presentation. Virtual headphone surround, discrete speaker channels and optical encoding are separate functions, with their own software and platform requirements.
Match the Source and Headphone Output
Check the actual digital or analogue input, headphone connector and supported operating mode. Choose the source, cable and headphone together; a headphone amplifier and a microphone recording interface have different jobs. Compare related options such as JDS LABS ATOM DAC 2 USB-C DAC or iFi Audio ZEN DAC 3 DAC and Headphone Amplifier, Hi-Res Playback, keeping the exact model and configuration in the decision. For the wider setup, explore Audio-Technica ATH-M20X 40mm Drivers Closed-Back Headphones and check the connection, size or mounting requirements before pairing accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does virtual 7.1 mean seven headphone drivers?
Virtual surround processes the signal for headphone listening. It is distinct from the separate analogue speaker outputs available on X4.
Can it connect an XLR microphone with phantom power?
These are gaming DAC/sound-card products with the listed headset or 3.5 mm microphone connections. They do not replace an appropriate XLR microphone preamp or phantom-power interface.
Does every software feature work on every platform?
No. Check the exact device, connection and software support. Console audio, microphone chat and computer processing can have different requirements.
How does Xbox One connect?
Use the supported optical input workflow. Voice communication is not supported through the G5 Xbox One connection.
Where is the virtual surround software supported?
The listed BlasterX Acoustic Engine Pro virtual-surround workflow is on Windows. Physical headphone output remains stereo.
