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.

Thanks.
I don't need to use a DAC because I will be using the FiiO X3 as my input for music. (There was a big discussion earlier about that). And I have seen the original non-Massdrop produced O2 - it *does* have a single digital input from what I can see/remember. That's why I bought the O2 from Massdrop. Does that make sense?
Some of the O2 amps use a 3.5mm input instead of RCA's, perhaps that's what you're thinking of? This was the original design, before the

So, additional questions then :) These are my 2 MAIN usage scenarios: 1) HiRez audio (for now FiiO X3 is what I am going to keep using) 2) Listening to TV through headphones when the house needs to be quiet :) Receiver: Denon AVR-4310CI
For scenario 1 (hi-res music), I currently use FiiO E6 with FiiO X3 - along with the Sennheiser HD 6xx. This is what I am trying to improve, if possible - within reason :)
I tend to use my Shure SRH940s for the 2nd scenario usually (TV listening). I do use the Shure for music also :)
(I also do own an Audio Technica ATH M50x - just FYI).
Thanks so much, again!
The X3 has a line level output capability, which is what you need to use with this...from what I've read it's a higher than average line level so expect to keep the volume setting low.
Your Denon has multiple audio outputs, you'll have to check if the VCR, or DVR outputs are line level....they should be.
LOL, yes, the question seemed to have gotten lost in there somewhere.
So... I do use X3's line level output (and use the FiiO E06's line level input) with the Senn HD6xx - using E06's headphone output. And it sounds good. I was just hoping to make that sound better, if possible - within a reasonable cost. That was the main question! :)
That's why I thought that the JDS Labs' singular input might be useful for me. Well, as it turns out, it was/is analog. But, it still isn't present on Massdrop O2 (the single input). Of course, that could be fixed easily by buying a 'stereo breakout cable'. But then I will have to use X3's headphone out and not the line-level output, right?
In addition, I wanted to see if I could use the HD6xx with my receiver and what I needed for that. I will take a look at the line level outputs for receiver. I guess until now I was using the 'headphone out' on the front panel - not the smartest move on my part :(
Thanks, Keth!
All you need is a 3.5mm male to RCA male adapter. The hardest part will be find a short quality male to male adapter that isn't ridiculously priced. Super easy to find 6 inch male to female cables, but not male to male for some reason.
