Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

AMP: Thoughts on the Jotunheim versus the Valhalla 2 as an amp?
--I know...tube versus solid state. But thoughts on the better of the two for a fixed budget?
DAC: Thoughts on the Jotunheim's balanced DAC card versus the Modi 2 or Modi 2 Uber?
--not including the Modi 2 Multibit ($249) as the Jotunheim DAC card is not multibit. However, is the Modi 2 Multibit worth $100 extra versus the Modi 2 Uber??
--not including the Bifrost ($399) and Bifrost Multibit ($599) due to the costs.
Amp/DAC COMBO options: Thoughts on the best combo for a fixed budget?
