You think the version 2e is better?--id stay away from these based on online reviews i've read.

I also occasionally use a SoundblastX G6 which is a slightly cheaper alternative but i find the sound it produces can often sound a little "processed"

Actually, your pc soundcard might be more than sufficient to power the 800s.

You think it’s enough to power the hd800s when using it on pc for counterstrike? -- the 800s are actually pretty easy to power so yes.

Is that a DAC and amp combo? -- yes. Schitt Hel is a dac/amp combo.

I have a simple set up using Schitt Hel (ver 1 and not 2e) as my dac/amp connected to the controller! You can use the usb to connect straight to the consoles but you lose access to mic functionality. Also i find the spatial audio feature from both the PS5 and Series X work better through the controller.

My set up goes as follows: Controller -> In-line cable -> Schitt Hel dac/amp -> HD800s

You can find a lavalier mic and connect to the Schitt Hel mic out which has volume control!

Hope this helps and congrats on your new HD800s!

I also game with the 800s and I don't think I am any better at any game. Instead, sound quality is certainly more astounding it's hard to go back to anything else outside of a good speaker system.
