Thinking about buying the AD700x for gaming (I play a lot of BF4). Will the 700x connect well with the Astro Mixamp 5.8 &amp; Modmic? Will be using on Xbox One and PS4.

Yes It will. I had that setup first and then switched to the Mixamp pro. These headphones will make you so aware of your surroundings in game. Especially in Dom or TDM. It's harder in the big game types do to all the action going on but still a great step up from the A40's.

X2000 seems to have a bit more per channel power: 95w vs 75w. the 700 has 2 LFE subwoofer outs, the X2000 only one. the X2000 has front HDMI IN (camera) which I don't think the X700 has. think the 700 only gets a 2-year warranty vs 3-years for the X2000. I have my X2000 directly wired to my home WLAN AP and so WiFi is not an issue for me. I have Apple IOS Devices and Airplay does what I need - generally BT has more limit range and fidelity depending on the available audio profiles. Personally I would not base my decision on built-in WiFi & BT.

It should have no problem working with any powered speakers. I am not familiar with DX4. But UDAC2 will not be the bottleneck for speakers costing several hundred dollars in terms of sound quality.

i am trying to help my father with is severe hearing loss. I am thinking to connect the 770 to a quality headset equalizer / preamp. Then a little blue toothe transmitter would be in charge of sending the signal to a high quality blue tooth headset. would the 770 perform in such a setup? I would really appreciate either tech and non tech answer. Thanks a lot!

The 573 is an incredible amp but it does not upscale. The res you put in will be the res you get out up to 4K. If you have a component Pr/Pb/Y input at 1080i (720P) etc. the receiver will not lower your resolution. Remember games may or may not be rendered with the highest resolution of your xbox. This would be 480i / 576i input is going to give you the same output. The 480p /576p will give you the same output. The 1080i / 720p will pass as the same and when you have an HDMI in 1080p- 4K, it outputs the HDMI of 1080P - 4K. If you want upscaling look at this receiver Yamaha RX-V673 7.2-Channel Network AV Receiver or the 773 model. You will be able to upscale anthing you want, nice, no, very nice.

If you want to take the astro mix amp + pc headset route, i'd recommend the Senn pc360. That seems to be agreed on as the best combo for quality surround sound. Pricey though. Honestly, save money and get the u320's. You'll be happy with the sound.

Thank you, I know it has an analog 3.5mm audio output but as I know there are some devices that need the signal vga to work the audio output 3.5mm... If you have already tested my issue, please Let me know

I use my Denon AH-D7000 with it through an E17 DAC to my Colorfly C4 & it works perfectly. So it will play your HD-650's as intended. However; if truth be told, I get the same quality directly from my C4 :-) Good luck to you, M

I wouldn't suggest using gaming mode. It greatly diminishes the picture quality, and for some games it butchers the colors. I would simply turn off Auto Motion Plus and you should be fine. I currently don't have AMP turned on for any of my sources, as it's benefits don't outweigh it's flaws. I am using a PS3 and I play dark souls, drakes 3, elder scrolls, etc and they all allow for fast reaction time.

I use it with the Astro Mixamp and the Recon3D USB on game consoles. It works fine. The end of the cable that connects to the mixamp/recon is a mic/audio in one, a TRRS connection. It comes with a y-cord so you can use that to split the two lines. It will work with any console as long as you have the correct adapter for the hardware.

Yes. I currently have the 650 controlling my Xbox One. Support is native, not just a workaround.

So, I deleted my earlier post. Getting 2 audio sources to play simultaneously is actually pretty easy. The mixamp has a line in for spdif (optical) and your typical aux 3.5mm jack. I hooked my computer via spdif and my TV via aux. You'll get both AND be able to toggle the balance with the right earcup game/VoIP switch. (I initially thought it didn't work, as I was 100% to my computer source, hence my deleted answer. Don't make my mistake). I would recommend the spdif from your console and aux from your computer, you'll get better in game sound. The balance feature is really nice, and it is tailored to your exact needs.

I am using it right now with the astro mixamp and yes it does work. But you will need this adapter Sennheiser PCV 05 Combo Audio Adapter

I am a professional radio mix show dj and I have mixed my show utilizing a Logitech X-530 5.1 system for years. I am personally looking to upgrade now since my amp seems to be dying. I can't turn up my sound past a certain volume anymore without the speakers cutting in and out so it has to be the amp. To answer your question, yes, without question!

Yeah, it will barely work, but ideally you want to drive it with something like an Emotiva XPA-2 to really help it hit its potential. I run my RTI A9s using that XPA-2 through the pre-amp output of a Yamaha RX-A2010BL 9.2-Channel and it sounds amazing. If you don't plan to upgrade to an auxillary amp like that, I'd say the RTI-A7 is a better fit. As others have said, the lack of power is much more noticeable in multichannel mode because the power per channel of your amp will not be 130w when you drive 5.1+ channels. BTW I am also running CSi-A6, F/XiA6, and a PowerSound Audio Sub XS-30.

Yes, I believe it is. Use the optical audio cable to connect the mixamp to the console.
