Hopefully some Elite tier 7.1 headphones and maybe speakers or soundbars !?
@BrilliantBill I never understood why people buy "7.1" headphones. Windows Sonic (which is built-in and free) or Atmos for Headphones (which only costs $15 and allows up to 10 different Windows 10/Xbox devices) does the exact same thing - virtual 3D audio (though I think Atmos for Headphones does it better).
Just buy a good set of stereo headphones and let system software do it's thing rather than rely on the headphone software since it could potentially alter what the system is already trying to accomplish.
To each his/her own, I guess, but I think 7.1 headphones are a waste of money.
But still no optical output......
These are gonna be SO expensive. Beautiful, but expensive.
