Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

Mine appears to have an issue where the sound just cuts out/lags terribly, especially when I am in a game. Doesn't really seem to be a problem if I am just at the desktop, I can watch youtube videos, play spotify, etc. But the second I load a game, the dac just stops working. In PUBG the sound cuts out for 2-3 seconds every 15 or so seconds. CSGO the sound in the game just cuts out 80% of the time and whatever I do hear is terribly delayed. If I am in CSGO and am playing music, the music lags similar to when you hold down the play/pause button and it just goes really slow/skippy.
Just doesn't really seem to be working. Standard computer sound works fine and the fiio e10k I have also works perfectly so it is the O2+SDAC and not anything else.
I'll contact support after Christmas and see what happens but mine doesn't seem like its going to work.
Also running Win 7, and the fiio e10k never presented these issues.
