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.

Sound Signature of the Grell Project.
Wondering what type of sound signature the Drop Grell project headphones will have or trying to attain. Any update would be appreciated.

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.

Some online review article: (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue62/millenia.htm) "The Millenia amplifier uses an unusual output stage configuration that is essentially a Class BD arrangement, which is different than the more widely used Class D topology. The output of the amplifier is generated differentially between the + and – speaker terminals, and is capable of extremely fast response times."
Lifting sections of another's work and appropriating them for you own use, without citing, is plagiarism, even if you reword it to try to disguise this. Simply linking to the article as "further reading" does not constitute citing it unless you also specify that it was a source (in this case, apparently the only source) of the content in your own article.
When you change the wording around to the point that most of it no longer makes any sense, though, I wonder if it's technically still plagiarism if you've destroyed most of the content you were trying to convey? The blurb author is in a bit of a grey-area, then, where it appears he's technically attempted plagiarism, but not all the content he's attempted to co-opt has survived the transition. He tries to present all the points in the original quote, even in the same order(!), but destroys a lot of the meaning with strange technical phrasing, possibly because he doesn't fully understand what he's reading?
Massdrop blurb again: "The device’s preamp works to properly match the impedance to the music source rather than alter the gain and comes with a BurrBrown op, which provides a low current and high slew rate."
Article again: "The preamp stage of the Millenia amplifier is not a gain stage, for its primary purpose is to provide impedance matching with the source component. Impedance mismatches between amplifier input stages and source components is an area where sound quality can be severely compromised, and the solution implemented in the TBI is an effective means to solve this issue. A newly developed Burr Brown op is used in this circuit, and has a low current and high slew rate characteristics."
Again, the original makes sense, and the Massdrop-translated-to-adverspeak doesn't, even though all main points from the original are still there and in the same order, even if they all now blend meaninglessly into each other somewhat. And there's more examples, if you can be bothered to compare the two further.
(Interesting that the "Burr Brown op" phrase is in the original, too, though. I assume they mean "op-amp", but I've never, ever, seen it written as just "op" before.)
Is this standard Massdrop copy-writing practice now? Just find a review of the product online and edit it down and rephrase/reword it enough that the text won't turn up the original in a Google search? I guess that's easier than communicating with the vendor, experimenting with the product, and actually doing your own research, then conveying that understanding in your own words. Much fewer steps.
