It's too bad none of these have data passthrough as well. It seems like using Wired Link and Wired headphones on the Q3s at the same time is just not an option...
@@jss4837 it is possible but more devices are needed. However wireless PCVR became so good (my network latency is usually ~4ms) that using cable for most people became pointless. And if someone use cable for PCVR, it’s easy to just connect a long headphones cable to a PC.
@@Thomas_Voland wireless still doesn't cut it for me even with a great router setup. Beat saber and even shooters just feel so much better over link cable IMO.
@@jss4837 Maybe you have so many Wi-Fi networks around or something messes with your Wi-Fi and makes jitter or something (for my friend it's HomePod when used in stereo, but I don't have this problem). Fortunately now almost nobody uses Wi-Fi 6E, so there’s always some solution.
@@jss4837- that’s because you haven’t optimized & deconflicted your network, & optimized your PC. Wired is pointless in 2024, if you take the time to optimize your wireless chain.
@@RolandDobbins no dawg. I've probably been doing this whole wireless vr thing longer than you, respectfully. I know how to check for congestion/traffic, and I have a good PC and dedicated router.
Will that work not only for charging but to play linked? I use a USB C 2.2 port and cable to play/charge simultaneously, but I always worry about the "passthrough" capabilities of dongles like that.
Power delivery is only for charging. Today, wireless is so good that not many people use cables anymore (I have 4ms network latency in VD, so everything else take longer than this), but if they do, there is always the option to just use a headphones cable extender from the PC. Of course, it's possible to use a hub USB with PD instead, but this video is about a cheap solution. About a more expensive options, I will make another.
@@Thomas_Voland Thanks for the information. I still use link because even with a WiFi6 router connected to the 5Ghz it still feels like I get stutters or sometimes full pauses when playing no matter if I use VD or SteamLink. Granted I have a pretty low tier machine with a gen11 cpu and a 4060Ti. I run it at 72hz and Medium settings. I wish it was more consistent for me somehow but haven't been able to figure that out.
links not working for Poland(not available in your country). I don't really need this DAC, just checked links. Thanks for content, very helpfull
Thanks, just added two more. As far as I known these should work in PL.
