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.

Do any xd-05 owners succesfully use this as a portable amp on the go? Or is it just not worth it? Of course it would make a nice desktop amp, althtough if I'm going to do that I'd rather get the smsl m6 or m8a.
It does suffer from Chinese-cheap-gear-itis and if you don't like that, stay away. For me, the cheap-ass USB cable they supplied was absolutely crap, always disconnecting. Not sure which end it was (probably both!). I had a USB extension cable lying around, and that works great. Threw the provided cable in the garbage. XDuoo would do so much better if they provided higher quality accessories, good quality branded Windows drivers, and better documentation/customer service... Maybe better QA and fit-and-finish too. For example, the drivers on the included disc didn't work and I had to hunt down the right ones online. Thankfully it is plug-and-play on the Mac.
The back USB plug is a standard USB-A Male, so you need a USB-A female for it. So a USB extension cord works great. There are other DACs that use the same USB-A Male connector, so it's odd but not unheard of. I wish they'd have just used the micro-USB everyone has on their cell phones and like the Schitt Fulla2, like they did for the charging port. Meh.
With a good cable, I never get disconnects. I often use this in my car for long trips with a Nexus 5X (using a USB-C to USB-A Female cable, sometimes also with that extension cable to make it longer) and it works great. Sounds amazing.
This amp has lots of power! I bought it after watching this ZReview on YouTube because I needed something stronger than my Schitt Fulla2 to power Fostex T50RP3's. It does a good job with those cans and has worked well with everything else I throw at it, including IEM's. It never even gets warm. That review is at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve2HfON4330
Anyway, I'm super happy with it overall. Most of the time I use it as a desktop USB DAC with Win10 and sometimes OSX alone or going into a Darkvoice 336SE. I also use it to watch loud movies at night, in the car on long trips, and in those cases the battery comes in very handy.
