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...

A decent set of IEMs
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.

For 4-5 hours or more every day for many years I've been listening to HD650s through a Aune T1. I've been rolling a Gold Lion Russian Genalex 6922 and Mullard connected via USB through a decent desktop PC.
This new ZDT appears to be an excellent upgrade.
What would people consider to be a good reasonably priced DAC that would bring out the best of this ZDT paired with my HD650s taking into consideration my intention to upgrade to HD800s in the near future.
What would you suggest for cables that would complement this?
Also does anyone know if MD fixed their pricing glitch yet?
Thanks in advance for everyone's input.
As an aside, I tried the online demo (not the trial download) of Sonarworks to see what it would do to my HD650s and it did knock off some of what some refer to as the congenital sibilance, which is my biggest complaint with my current cans which they are known for. But not impressed. It took away more of the good side of the 650s than I liked. But it was only like a 5 minute toggle back and forth with...
So back to the tubes. Input appreciated.

With that said, remember that our warranty won't cover damage to your ZDT Jr. done by tube rolling.
I don't have an account there myself and I don't see myself ever needing one.
You can also purchase the tubes from Ebay but the tubes will likely source from Russia/Ukraine/Latvia
Also considering the direction I'm heading , which mods would best suit my HD650 HPs?
Given that I would be guaranteed to Fk them up if I attempted to do this, where can I send them to have the mods done? Looked over the HD650 thread on mods on SBAF and see no reference to which mod would best suit the amp and where I might send them to get them done.
Thanks for any help any of you fine people can provide... oh and screw the warranty. I won't stuff anything in the ZDTjr that didn't come recommended by one of you learned folk.
I am a tube newbie but sounds like a reasona approach with the Jr is to buy a few different brands of the same tube types and compare once amp is available. Tube sound differences can be marginal or not depending on the tube and amp and these differences could also be personal preference.
