I'm not complaining about the present
I was very happy my parents thought to get me anything
and up until the point where I realized how this wouldn't work  I was rather excited and told them I loved it

it was only after the audiophile in me realized why this wouldn't work that I told them wee would have to take it back
and they, being the wonderful understanding people that they were told me that was okay


If you want something that is somehow "magically" as a step up from normal headphones I guess this is fine
but if you're any kind of audiophile who actually spent 200 USD ( I spent 250) on a sound card with 7.1 optical audio capabilities
the fact that you even have to spend money on the DSS to downgrade your signal is unacceptable never mind the actual money you spent on the headphones.
