you can go ahead and do that doogie. I have a few setup. first one is the svs ultra theater system in my living room with the oppo 205 and monolith 7. which also have my pc hook up to it. second is my ls50 active in my bedroom with denon 7200 also with my pc and many other connection. and the third one is the elac uni-fi ub5.which also is connected to the denon reciever. and yes i do have the lsr30x connected to my son pc with an audio-gd r2r-11.
you guy call me a troll or whatever you like. my question is: are you a diehard massdrop fan or associates??? :) my comment wasn't aggressive and all i did was request massdrop to play a demo so that all of us know what we are getting from the speakers. it's funny to see how some of the so call member react to a simple request so negatively. you sometime wonder, are they really a member or something else hahahaha.
my request only benefit those member who is interested in the speaker and doesn't know what they are getting themself into and with a demo, to let the buyer know what is to expected.
ps with high quality compression nowaday, the sound quality can retain its great quality and you won't be able to tell the different unless you are a professional.

flintrockGentleman, let's be easy. ^_^ My friend and I owes a shop selling headphones, DAC, HP Amp. As you can see, some headphones price is over $1500+, some are much higher--you know their names. But I can frankly tell you good speaker like 796SE sound stage, power, density, detail is really far beyond headphones. I don't think youtube can tell the difference, but if you go to a demo room to hear, you will immediately choose the speakers. My customers, mainly are colleague students, at first they choose headphones, but after graduation and gain money, they upgrade to speaker system.

JamesWongHear hear! I have yet to hear a headphone that remotely comes close to the resolve of a quality loudspeaker. But in all honesty, they buy speakers after grad because they (assumedly) have their own place and can afford to blast them.

JamesWongwell I’d have to concede speakers do everything and more which you describe. Ain’t no way it’s still gonna beat out headphones for the sheer intimacy of drowning in headphone bliss. Go ahead. I dare you. Plug in and listen to something revelatory. Or just listen to Rubber Soul or Revolver.

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.
