The G6 will again sound the same as the DX3 pro and the 7-year old dolby usb sound card. That's the thing with proper, non-broken gear, they should all sound transparent. Those subjective claims about sound stage and "airier" sound are the typical audiophile bullshit.
Get the G6 if you need/want its features, otherwise you won't really hear any improvements really.
Yeah I suspect the same, but that was not the case with the e10k. When I still owned that dac amp, switching back and forth between the e10k and the usb sound card, I can hear a noticeable difference in soundstage and sound signature. Things sound less wide and warmer on the e10k. I thought it was placebo but I did not hear a difference between the dx3 pro and the usb sound card. Very weird. I heard dac amp can affect sound signature (making it warmer/brighter) but not the soundstage, but somehow it affected both based on my experience with the e10k. I’m afraid after buying the g6 it will sound like the e10k instead of the other 2.
The usb sound card is in a pretty sorry state appearance wise so I’d want to replace it with something prettier and newer. Out of all the features the g6 offers, I only care about the 7.1. I do own dolby atmos for headphone but that software does not work with certain games and the soundstage is smaller vs other tech. I use hesuvi as well but ironically that only works with a 7.1 device so 2-channel dac amp like the dx3 pro will have some problem (there’s a workaround it seems but I’m lazy), and also the hesuvi’s simulated hrtf may not match the real hardware hrtf on the g6. The 7.1 on the g6 is not the ideal one either; I heard 7.1 created by Sennheiser on the gsx 1000 is the best atm, but as mentioned it does not work with console which i own. Sigh.
