Oh yes they works on DS4 but the audio quality isn't the best, I've ended using them into the synth.
Their implementation for living room space 3D Audio that they've implemented for headphones won't be at launch. But Surround, and all those other encoding types will be supported day 1 on compatible receivers/systems.
You can but it should work better over usb connection, so you might as well use that if possible. I have the PC37X so I will need to use my Astro Mixamp through optical and wait for the Tempest 3D updated for HDMI speakers.
Has be supported by devs like how it was on ps4 with 3D audio headsets as far as I know, everything I've read about it comes across that way. Most launch games should support it but we'll see what happens.
Same! I think there's a few of us around here. ;)
What atmos is doing is not all too different from PS5 Tempest. The game provides all the sound which is then passed to Dolby atmos algorithms which does the required processing. With atmos, you need licensed hardware and or software to take advantage of it. With PS5 you don't as a consumer. They are both proprietary but one does not need licensed hardware to use. Dolby atmos for games is not an industry accepted standard.
Yes, there are a few of us audio people here for sure. My endgame for gaming is the HD800S, but it really is an overkill for this purpose. The headphone that came closest to simulating speaker experience for me was the Audeze LCD2 Classic which I sold because it was too heavy, and I regret selling it.
It sounds like 3D audio is just an optional bonus on top of whatever mixes you would normally get.
I emailed ASTRO and they replied that they will have a HDMI solution to allow us to use the most recent versions of the mixamp with the PS5. They gave me no timeline on that product though.
It'll no doubt support 7.1, but there's no confirmation on Atmos yet. I'm betting it will support Atmos for movies (since that would essentially just be a passthrough), but probably not for games.
It will be an HDMI audio splitter, I am just waiting to see if it is HDMI 2.1 compatible. If it is not, might as well buy a cheaper 2.0 one from Amazon or wherever. If you have the newer mixamp, they will update them so you can get surround through USB and be able to take advantage of Tempest.
Cheers.
Fantastic suggestions. I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD 6xx. It's supposed to be a rebranded HD600, but outta all of my headphones, this is probably the most disappointed I've been with a set... And everyone else that seems to have HD600s loves them, so maybe they actually changed something in the process.
It was all in your head
These questions are probably why surround speaker support is not available at launch as they need to translate Tempest data on output.
Best of my understanding Tempest is just the hardware and algorithm that does HRTF processing, audio will be output as stereo for headphones or as regular surround LPCM.
Thank you. You're much better than Astro at sharing information with me. :)
They did not, just stereo. The only one that has what you're mentioning is the higher end ps3 headset from Sony. The ps4 versions did not.
There isn't any support for this, this is what the newer audio formats are designed to facilitate, but there has been no word if there is hardware support for DTS-X or Dolby Atmos on PS5.

All headsets/mixamps through usb wired or wireless, or the 3.5mm stereo port in the controller will get Tempest 3D at launch. My headset is connected through a mixamp that uses optical so it is not compatible.
The point with this is you don't need 5.1 audio. You get 3D audio through regular stereo headphoness
They haven't said anything about UAC2, so it's not known if low latency/high bandwidth USB DACs are supported or even useable on the PS5 at all.
DM them to me
I would writing off speakers/home theatre support at this point, although Sony paid soundbars a little lip service, the experience is going to be pretty poor compared to headphones. People can talk themselves around it, but not only do you need to account for the shape of your ear, but you also need to account for the acoustic properties of every single surface in your room.
What I quoted is as far as they've been willing to share but they've been pretty clear from the start that this is an ongoing thing they will be improving on as time goes so you are putting the Cart in front of the horse on this one. Atmos for games is just as new if not much newer than Tempest which has roots from PSVR in terms game actually using it. Anything i say beyond that would just be speculation on my part.
Are there any that are wireless? I don't sit near enough to my console to be able to use any DACs I've seen
