Video review of the Turtle Beach Earforce DSS Please visit www.turtlebeach.com for more information Please comment Please follow me on Twitter @ www.twitter.com Please visit www.mlgpro.com for my written reviews on headsets So the DSS is Turtle Beach's answer to Astro Gaming's Mixamp.

In any case, I refer to this kind of processing as "virtual virtual 7.1". So like I say in the video, performance between the DSS is comparable to the other popular decoders out there today. -While the Astro Mixamp has Coaxial, RCA, and optical inputs, the DSS only has an optical input and a 3.5mm input. If you got an RCA to 3.5mm adapter, you could connect your system to the ...
