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...

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 think they sound amazing with the ear-gear that I have. I'm using mostly my Audeze iSine20's and it is a truly wonderful player and that is with the SE connection. I ordered a pair of balanced cables, since I greatly favor balanced-out. I also have a pair of RHA T20s that I really dig.
I know what you're getting at ;-). Research has shown the average person can't tell the difference between MP3, 44.1, 88.2, 96, etc... I also know that most people who listen to music don't know how to critically listen to a recording for quality, nor do they care. I bet you don't care and yet, here you are in the Audio section of Massdrop.com. If you think that buying high resolution audio tracks is a waste of time, why waste your time commenting on a DAP that you wouldn't buy. Why do I think you wouldn't buy it? Because it isn't worth the money if you can't hear the difference between 44.1/16 and 88.2/15 or 96/24. I've been buying tracks all the way up to DSD128 and comparing the differences and I have to say, I'm perfectly fine with 96/24. That's my limit. I can't tell the difference at the highest levels and I think that I have some pretty good gear that could reveal the differences. It must be my ears.
All of that being said, the whole point is to dig your music. If listening to music puts a smile on your face, then you've won the debate. When is the last time that you listened to your music on your gear and said, "Wow, I never noticed that before!". I have that experience a lot of the time that I listen to the same music that I've been listening to for years. I've listened to a *lot* of different audio systems and every now and then I am blown away and get giggly over what I've just heard. *That* is worth paying for. It does not happen all of the time. Right now, as I type this, I'm listening to 192/24 of the Grateful Dead 5/8/77 (Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) show. Excuse me while I get all giggly. I don't know, it must be the music.
