BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.

I had a good experience with Drop. Thank you Drop.
Impressive warranty service. Real quick. I needed to return my 6xx for a buzzing in the right speaker. I inquired with the manufacturer regarding the two year warranty and was batted around a couple of times before being directed back to Drop. Drop then covered the warranty even though it was a couple of days past the purchase date of the warranty’s terms. I’m not stating you will have the same results. I initiated the claim prior to expiration. I was issued an rma, I returned my unit and had a new unit two weeks later. Thank you Drop. Another happy customer. I’m not a bot. Send me any puzzle and I’ll complete it.

mid range , woo audio tube amps such as wa6, wa6se , wa2,wa22
high end, headamp gsx m2, alo audio studio 6, basically most amps that are over2-3k usd
Amp = amplify your signal out. give you more "power" to drive your current headphones. most good quality DACs contain decent amp circuits to power your headphones, even stuffs like ASUS DACS, can power your headphones to some certain extent. most high end DACs are used by themselves, separate from AMPs itself.
And yes high end DACs are by themselves. but usually are able to power your headphones also, a mid -> high end DAC would be OPPO HA-1, which contains amp circuitry. but yea, your mileage may vary on the prices and performances..
DACs convert digital signals to analog. Sound is an analog signal, so a high quality DAC will ensure that the digital signal from your computer is translating clearly to sound.
Amps affect the sound that the DAC gives them. Different amps can be used to bolster the sound of headphones (and increase the sound quality) and color the sound to make it more interesting. For a low sensitivity headphone like the K7XX, a energetic amp (such as a tube amp) will pair well with it, and make it sound warmer.
If you are looking for a cheap DAC + Amp combo, the Monoprice one comes well recommended, but a very high quality entry level setup for these would be the Schiit Modi 2 + Magni 2 (or Vali). The Modi 2 is a DAC, and the Magni 2 is an amp. The Vali pairs better with these headphones, but it's a tube amp, so there will be some pros and cons.
Don't take your advice solely from us though; if you're still not sure, there are great reviews and threads on sites like Head-Fi and Reddit (/r/headphones) that can tell you much more than I have!
AKG K7XX: 62 Ohms, 105dB/V Senn HD600: 300 ohms, 97dB/mW AKG K7XX converted: 93dB/mW
Spec: K7XX / HD600 mW@1VRMS: 16 / 3 mA@1VRMS: 16 / 3 VRMS for 120dB (do not try this at home): 5.6 / 7.7 mA for 120dB (do not try this at home): 90 / 26
The AKG K7 series drivers should be much more power hungry, compared to the venerable HD600. Realistically, 10mA will get you to levels you shouldn't be listening at, with the K7 driver, but it's those current needs that can cause common cheap amp sections to fall flat, even though they get plenty loud (we are not normal, deal with it). At 1V, which is still going to be very loud, the K7s should need about 1/5 the output impedance of the HD600 to be amplified about as well.
