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'm coming from a Monoprice Headphone Amp/DAC (similar to an O2/ODAC). Listening with HD600/ER4S.
I'm immediately impressed with this unit. It's very nicely packaged. The DAC/AMP's aesthetics are very attractive. The volume pot is smooth, easy to see and feels great. There aren't any insanely bright blue LEDs! The unit is weighty and feels high quality to the touch. The power brick is large and awkwardly cabled, though I'm glad to have an external power supply to reduce interference.
The sound is very impressive. I liked the Monoprice DAC/AMP a lot for the price, but this really blows it out of the water. The dynamics and separation of instruments is improved. I also feel like the highs are more smooth and crisp - symbols sound more alive. Sound-stage is also improved, though the HD600s aren't known for their sound stage and I don't have another set of cans to verify this with. I wish there was more documentation on the filter settings, as I can detect a sonic difference but I would like to be able to quantify that difference.
It's clear this unit has plenty of power as I can loudly drive my HD600s with less than 1/2 volume. I cranked it up as loud as I could handle and there was no perceptible distortion.
The power brick and unit get warm to the touch, but certainly not hot, and in fact it's cooler than the Monoprice unit.
The 10th anniversary sticker is only a sticker unfortunately. I wish it was laser engraved or silk-screened. A minor issue.
Another minor issue is a slight channel imbalance at extremely low volume levels.
Overall I would absolutely recommend this product for desktop headphone use!
