limgravityPersonally, I like separating the headphones/speakers with amp and separate the amp with the dac whenever possible. That way I can swap out the pieces I don't like instead of getting rid of the whole unit which I did. I owned the A5+ but sold it after half a year because I found the USB input to be a bit lacking compared to plugging in to the Schiit Bifrost via RCA plugs. I also prefer tube sounds from my Maverick Audio A1 as well, so I can't just use the A5+ as a passive speaker (or at least one of the side I can't.) The A5+ speaker drivers themselves are really good though. That's why I actually sold my A5+ and got P4 to pair with the combo of equipment I prefer. I prefer to mix and match.

limgravityI use it in about a 150 sq ft room with 8 ft ceiling. Sounds like it fills the room quite well. So depending on room size. It will definitely do well in a condo sized bedroom. Tried Rokit 5 in the room but didn't like that I have right to sit in front of speakers to get the best sound

spikyfuguI was tempted by the A5+ drop that just ended, but I kind of feel the same way about the versatility of a separate amp. Now I'm looking at the N22 and P4, which are about the same price shipped (assuming they meet their targets). This of course opens up the P4 to a ton of competition: Klipsch RB-41 II, Cambridge Audio S30, PSB B4, and many others. The bamboo looks really nice, though, and the P4 is a nice size for my intended use on the desktop.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x
Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

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.
