New PS 5 and XBOX without Optical in

I ment connecting the dac with usb to the ps5, it has usb ports i assume like the back of xbox. The same way we connect dacs to pc with usb.

Requires the OS is built with drivers.
It probably isn’t.

Then I think the only obvious route is hdmi to optical converter

I use the SoundBlaster G6 amp/DAC via USB on my PS4. I’m hopeful it’ll work with the PS5. Creative has been good about keeping it updated.

Depends.
When the PS5 or SeriesX support USB-class compliant devices and the DAC is class compliant, it will just work.
If any of the two does not, it will not work.

Only issue with the extractors will have to be 2.1 hdmi if u use a hdmi 2.1 tv anyway and wat 4k 120 but then i guess the consoles wont get that anyway.

While the lack of optical is a big FU to my current setup,
PS5 supports USB DACs so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Nice! I am running my ps5 audio from the optical out of my new TV to the modius :sunglasses:

Hello
Did you try to connect the Ps 5 via usb to the dac to see if it works?

I haven’t. I will try later this week

There are few topics about the USB audio on PS5.

In a short it seems that: UAC1 DACs work and UAC2 ones don’t.
If your DAC/Amp does sampling above 96khz it’s definitely UAC2

At this moment.

Options kinda are: PS maybe adds support to UAC2 as a update or all different UAC2 DACs need a new firmware update so they support UAC1 if possible/awailable.

Some have reported that XBOX might also require “licensed” dacs to work.
Maybe same thing with PS5, new supported and licensed dacs pop-up in the market?

I would imagine something like this would work? That’s what i plan on getting if I do end up with a new Xbox. They have been selling like crazy.

No, if you plan to play with the best graphics 4K, 120 hz also.
Extractor: * Supports up to 4k video resolution; 8-bit 4K (30 Hz), 12-bit 1080p (60 Hz), or 12-bit 720p/1080i (60 Hz), plus 3D formats"

Yep it is 4k 30hz.

Usb Modius to Ps5 did not work for me.

Cause it’s a UAC2.

The Neotek looks better because he can 60 hz the Matrix only 30hz.
I think is too early for a Good extractor.
Actually the best option is Hdmi input in the Tc and Sound goes Optical out to the Dac.

For Monitor player ist difficult actually.

I have a monitor at the moment. I don’t have sound LOL
