Hi Everyone,

It’s been an exciting few weeks watching the community react to the K7XX. All the reviews, videos, and discussion posts are more than we could have asked for. You’ve got everyone involved with this project (and several other players in the audio industry) looking at the Massdrop community as more than consumers. They’re starting to understand you’re industrial designers, electrical engineers, people who purchase based on quality...

Actually used have a serious case of  "I can't stop buying audio equipment"  , cant deny that. Knocked some sense into myself quite some time back though. Isnt that how all of "audiophoolery" goes though? Specially for DAC's? Im more of a Tube amp person now, and build my own amps derived from a mix of different schematics. 

Anyways,  my experience dealing with companies based in the USA has been worse than the ones based on China. For example...

Reply added to Little Dot I+ Headphone Amp

So I thought to update this thread for future posterity, hoping that a future person may find assistance.  If we remember, going to the beginning, there was a significant level of static, pops, and whistles only during heavy GPU extensive gaming.  When not gaming, there was only the slight electrical hum from the PC.  Disconnecting the Little Dot I+ from a signal source resulted in an empty sound space across the full range of the volume control.

SMSL makes decent budget gear but, to be blunt, the SD-793 is under powered for 250-300 ohm headphones.  The output spec for the 793 is 130mW @ 32ohms which will push sound out of 300 ohm cans but will not really drive them properly or get the most out of them.  The SMSL 793 won't really do the job for the AKG K7XX either; while those cans have an impedance of just 62 ohms, they aren't terribly efficient and need a good amount of current.

I'm not sure about these set of cans, although not an audiophile I've been around the forums and know what basics I feel are important to me, and currently I feel a little fed up with my Koss Pro DJ cans. Also reading everything I think what stands out most about these headphones, both good and bad is: Good - Sound Quality & Build Quality. Bad - Fitting & Isolation. Which is an easy fix if one goes about ordering a set of valuer memory foam...

*Stickied*
________________________
Is the PC37X open-back or closed-back?The PC37X is an open-back headset. 
This means that there is no physical structure that envelops the back of the drivers. In general, open-back headphones have a superior soundstage when compared with closed-back headphones. This is because a closed ear cup produces reflections in the sound. This means the perceived location of a sound is more precise, which is specifically...
