Review: Mobo mic in works 👍 - I asked the question if this would work as a gaming DAC and output sound to my headphones and still have the ability to mic into the motherboard of my PC. I was told no but I can say that this setup configuration works without issues for me. (Runbing Windows 10, b550 motherboard, V-moda BoomPro mic, Philips shp9500, splitter cable). I was advised by a friend, researched throughly and came to the conclusion that this would be a good quality setup. The addition of this DAC has made it a perfect gaming setup for me and at a good overall cost. PROS: • this DAC played a part in delivering better performance than most gaming headsets. • I didn't think that bass and treble control would be very useful but I now find myself regularly tweaking them in various situations to optimise game sound and music to my taste. • Nice weight to the unit yet quite compact in size. • Control dials have a nice quality feel to them. • Noticeable cleaner sound when compared to motherboard output. • Good sound stage which is perfect for gaming. • I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH MIC INTO MOTHERBOARD WHILST USING USB TO DAC. CONS: • For convenience only, it would have been nice to have the mic pass through without having to split into mobo. CONCLUSION: I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a decent gaming sound experience at a good price point.
Review: Fosi Audio Q4 Headphone Amplifier DAC Converter - A Game Changer with Toslink Optical Connection! - Having previously purchased two ‘cheap’ DAC Converter units and really struggled to get any decent level of sound through them, I decided to bite the bullet and pay a bit more for the Fosi Audio Q4 Headphone Amplifier DAC Converter. I am using this unit with a TosLink optical cable and it has exceeded all my expectations. This little device punches above its weight and delivers a remarkable listening experience that I think would be hard to match in its price range. It is a very compact and sturdy design, with a solid and premium feel to it. I am using this device with an LG Smart TV that is fitted into a bed unit (so TV rises from foot of the bed). As such, we only ever use this TV with headphones, so achieving decent sound through headphones is essential to us. As previously mentioned, I had struggled to get any decent level of sound through two cheaper versions of DAC converters (the sound levels were so quiet we had resorted to always using subtitles when watching TV), but I just left the cables in place that were used with those and plugged them into the Fosi unit – which clearly showed me there was nothing wrong with the cables I had been using and the issue was with the cheap DAC units. With the Fosi unit, everything works brilliantly and the sound quality and levels are awesome. I am not using particularly expensive headphones – they are wired and have an impedance value of 32 – which should have been good enough with the original ‘cheap’ DAC converter but simply wasn’t The Fosi Audio Q4 Headphone Amplifier DAC Converter is an absolute gem – although it should be noted I have only tried connecting via Toslink optical cable so cannot comment on other connection options. It’s hard to believe that such a small, affordable device can provide this level of audio performance. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but ...
*by W***H on 21 January 2026*

It's good but knobs for treble and bass aren't doing that much to be honest.
