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...

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.

I sold off my WA7 last year because I thought I could get by on a hifi-m8 with a balanced connection. The only result was that I listened to my LCD-3 less and less. To me, the WA7 by itself represented the point of diminishing returns. By default, I think Woo Audio did an exceptional job pairing a excellent DAC and outstanding standard tubes for the amp.
I'm looking forward to pairing it with my LCD-X!
I was willing to step down from a LCD-3 to the LCD-X to save a few dollars. I don't think there is a simple step down from the WA7. My current DACMini is definitely not it.
I am still on the fence about the tube power supply. It looks cool but takes up double the space. I am skeptical that the power supply itself will dramatically improve the sound. Perhaps a little different. But better? I ordered without. Added. And thinking of deleting it again. Second time around for you with the WA7. Are you going SS or tube for the power supply this time?
Personally for me, I was really satisfied with the Vali sound but hated the noise floor and microphonics. Tried the Magni and it definitely didn't sound as good as the Vali for my taste, with HD650. Hence I'm now looking for a low-maintenance tube amp that sounds good, looks good, without overheating problem, won't blow my headphones up (this requirement takes Valhalla 2 and Lyr 2 out of the question). That basically leaves me with Crack and Woo. Given that I'm probably not that hugely sensitive to minor details in sound, I think WA7 would suit me better than other offerings from Woo.
Now just seriously debating between WA7 and Crack. What's pulling me back from buying the crack is that I have a pair of HD650 as well as K712, and Crack won't work nearly as well as WA7 for the K712 due to the output impedance. Maybe I should consider WA7 vs Crack+O2...
I'm also very hesitant on that audio360 article, this guy is talking a +40% increase in soundstage using the WA7tp over the SS.
If you want to upgrade to the WA7tp afterwards, as long as you bought the WA7 already, just tell them the serial number on it and it's available for $400 ($80 more, but you can always make that decision later).
AudioMan612: "I'm currently trying to figure out if Woo will still allow people with older WA7's to buy the new tube power supply at a discounted price as opposed to $649. They were basing it off serial number before. I'd love to get one, but I just can't spend any more money on audio gear for a while.
Edit: Looks like I can get it for $399 still. Well, that will have to wait unfortunately."
