Hey, I am super new to the audiophile world and I was wondering what kind of amp and or dac to get. I have watched numerous videos them and still don't know how to determine what I need. Please help if you have minute.

Juicy_JWell here's a tip. The HD6XX is a dark sounding headphone, so usually an analytical or neutral dac/amp would pair well with these. I generally don't recommend anything from the Schiit Audio range, but the coolness of their "house sound" suits these headphones really well. These cans also require plenty of power, so something like a Schiit Valhalla would be a good amp (or anything else from the Schiit range would be a good signature complement). DAC doesn't matter much for the HD6XX, but do get something better than a FiiO D3.

CokemanPreferably not over 100 but if it is necessary then i am willing to spend more.

Juicy_JFor that price a Schiit Fulla would probably be your best bet for a DAC/AMP combo. But I would recommend spending a bit more if you can.

Juicy_JMore distortion.
However distortion isn't as bad as it sounds, and most people do not know what it sounds like. More likely it will just sound good to you.
Most people when they move to better equipment, they won't hear much difference. But give it a few weeks and try moving back to your old equipment and it will sound like trash.

Juicy_JWell the DAC isn't as good as if you got a higher end model, which would lead to distortion as Jakula said, and the AMP isn't super powerful, not a problem on these, but if you get into really high stuff you might run into power issues with higher ohm stuff. But for $100 for a DAC and AMP it really can't be beat for the price.

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.

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.
