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 bought the set about 6 months ago. I was interested in it the first time I saw it listed, and even after the "closeout" price, I was on the fence for a while, since it's $$$$.
It's a very interesting kit. A very high-end DAP, wrapped in a huge limited edition music collection. And it IS huge. I finally decided to get rid of the packing material, since it was taking up a lot of room. And those of you who ordered this are in for a treat. It's a HUGE/HEAVY package. I think it was about 60 pounds, and the box is big enough to hold a decent sized floor-standing speaker.
There is a very narrow market for something like this, and it's not surprising that A&K still has some for sale. You have to want/need a high end DAP, and be a big fan of the music content included. If you are looking forward to every piece; the player, the special case, the music stand and the books; you'll be happy with this kit. Every piece is professionally assembled/packaged/presented. IMHO, you really need to want every piece. I can't tell you how many times I tried to justify the purchase by figuring out "ok, the AK240 is worth this much, I'd say the book is $$$", etc.
Personally, I already had quite a lot of the Blue Note music that is included, but only in CD or original vinyl formats. Even though I know the source quite well, listening to the content pre-loaded on the AK240 was shocking. Some of the re-masters really show what high bit-rate digital music can sound like. For reference, the headphones I use primarily with this player are my HD-650's with a balanced cable. (my HiFiMan headphones need more power) The quality of the files, plugging the AK240 into my home stereo DAC, is also very good.
When you get your box, grab the player, plug it in to charge it up. Open the rest of the stuff while it charges. Then plug in your headphones and listen to "Somethin Else" by Cannonball Adderley. Enjoy.
