Modded headphones with qudelix at the core
When I received the Qudelix 5K, I had already modified a pair of Superlux HD-681 headphones. I previously soldered my own balanced connections to the drivers, providing multiple ways to connect and...

A decent set of IEMs
I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

I purchased latest Schiit Fulla 2 device and was very unsatisfied with the quality of the device and the way Schiit addressed the situation. While there are many very happy Schiit customers at this point I would not consider another product from them for myself. I like electronics that functions well and looks good. Schiit is less about form and more about function...
Arcam has been around for ages making great audiophile grade products. I had never owned one personally, but in my opinion there is no doubt that Arcam product will perform and will be pleasure to use. It will sound good and look good. It is function and form! The review on innerfidelity is very positive: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/british-hifi-heritage-arrives-headphone-world-arcams-rhead#EvxhMZtmCPY6FffM.97. In my experience innerfidelity reviews are fair and honest... And British audio products are always top notch.
I had been tempted by Schiit products for a while and there is always something that stops me. Each of their products I considered functions well apparently, but for me personally there are always things which do not make sense. Like power switches on a back... Why? Cases that are designed to be stacked with finish colors that do not match... Stacks that do not stay in place because wires push them apart... It just seems that there is always a feature or two which I would like to have and it is missing... No power switch on a front panel, no output switch, no preout volume control. Gets really hot. Should not be powered off... This or that... They represent value, but personally I don't mind paying a bit more and maybe having a power switch on the front panel...
I have had 2 Modii (is that the plural? LOL), a Modi 2 Uber, and now a Modi Multibit. I have had absolutely no problems with either on my Win10 Pro main PC.
I am also running a Schiit Wyrd before the DAC, but it was added about 2 months after I got my first Modi so unsure if that might clear up your problem. I had no problems before I added the Wyrd either.
Now, the case on my Wyrd appears to be sand-cast aluminum instead of the brushed aluminum on my Mimby. So yes, if you care about exact case-matching, there may be issues. I don't much care personally.
I leave the Wyrd and Mimby on 24/7, power draw and heat are negligible. The Mimby outputs to my Stax amp, which conveniently has pass-throughs, and from there on to the Jot. Depending on whether I'm listening to Stax or to "normal" headphones is which amp I turn on.
I do already own a Jotunheim, so won't be joining this Drop. If I didn't though, I would seriously consider it. The Arcam name is old-school audiophile, as is the Adcom kit that pops up on here occasionally.
*edit* I would NOT run your Modi off a USB hub! Hook it up directly to your machine. Your hub could be introducing interference and/or timing issues.
Now that I look into the problem, I also don't really understand why it's not affecting me as well o.0 It looks like it should be....
Not sure if it will help, but you can try installing ASUS AI Charger. Probably not, but worth a shot. http://event.asus.com/mb/2010/ai_charger/
