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...

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'd like to pair this amp with my ODAC (also from NwAvGuy, I'm a huge supporter of his work, the DAC is awesome beyond telling for such a low price). However I'm hesitating on which O2 version is the best for my use case.
- I will use the Sennheiser HD6XX from Massdrop. I hear they need ~2Vrms on NwAvGuy's blog.
- I'm using the DAC mostly at home (occasionnally in my car, powered by a Nexus 6P USB-C output), so I bought this DAC outfitted with RCA outputs, as it's more often than not driving a classic receiver+loudspeakers. (it's revA of this one: http://www.headnhifi.com/dac/odac-xl-version) Apparently, this DAC consistently outputs ~2Vrms from what I read on NwAvGuy's blog.
I'm thinking the O2 Desktop with medium gain (1X | 3.3X) is the way to go for me.
How I plan to use it: using very short RCA cables, I should be able to send ~2Vrms from the ODAC to the O2 (regardless of the digital source, the analog output of the ODAC should always output ~2Vrms, right? Phone or desktop PC should not matter?) and use the 1X gain setting to drive the HD6XX. Am I correct?
If Desktop O2 with medium gain is fine, then I'll get it here, otherwise I'll probably buy it from Head'n'HiFi. Unless there's a better amp to put in-between my ODAC and the HD6XX. Thanks anyone who can help me decide what to get! :-)
