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...

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.

I thought the Fostex might be a good one at $399 MSRP - which a drop could bring to a very affordable level - so I added it to some of the polls here to be voted on. This TEAC however also looks very interesting and might seriously consider it even though the balanced outs are pre-amp. How would these two DAC/Amps compare in features and quality against one another?
Here is a link to the the specs on the product site of the HP-A4BL: http://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/products/HP-A4BL.shtml#content-3-tab-tab
Glad you brought up the power difference, I guess it gives a bit of extra room if need be. I noticed in the specs that the UD-301 supports 32-bit quantization via USB, while the Fostex HP-A4BL maxes out at 24-bit. On the other hand, the Fostex supports 11.2MHz DSD while the TEAC goes up to only 5.6MHz. Would any of these be a clear advantage, or are they just specs that have no real world implications/noticeability to the listener?
As of right now I am still debating between these two. The UD-301 looks much more attractive as a unit, but because the Fostex is an all-in-one for headphones I'm leaning towards it slightly more. The smaller size is also an advantage in my case.
Anyways, I would still love to see opinions on quality and use from anyone who has experience with these brands.
