Still Great In 2020!
I purchased this dac in the mid-June drop and have not been disappointed. I originally wanted a higher end dac/amp and this fits in a category of great value and high quality perfectly. The machining of the Aurender Flow is top notch. As far as the ease of use, it is very simple. Literally, this is a plug and play dac/amp that works with any USB connection I've tried. So far, I've used the Note 10+, the IPhone 11 Pro Max, and my 2017 MacBook Pro and it's worked great with all of those devices. As far as sound goes, clear and true is how I can describe it. From the lows, mids, and highs, everything is clean in its presentation. Transparency is also great. The two other dac/amps that I also have used quite a bit are the Dragonfly Red and Xduoo XD-05 plus. When comparing those to the Aurender Flow, neither do. The Aurender is more accurate, airy, transparent, and dynamic. The Xduoo XD-05 plus is usually listed here on Drop for $220 or $265 if you want it with the Bluetooth adapter. But honestly, I'd spend the extra money and buy the Aurender Flow. The perk of the Xduoo is that you can make it into a Bluetooth dac/amp, which is awesome and cool, but if you want cleaner and accurate sound, pay a little more for the Aurender and you won't be disappointed. You don't get bluetooth with the Aurender, but you get far greater sound. The only thing I didn't like about this purchase was the wall adapter they included with this unit, but honestly, everyone has tons of wall adapters to charge their phones, so it didn't bother me much. The unit is really nice quality! Can't wait to compare this unit to the Chord products such as the Mojo and Hugo. Extremely recommended!

JGriegoOk. I read that this dac discharges while playing even when it's connected to the power (and is supposed to stay fully charged), is that true in your experience? Also, did you consider iFi micro iDSD BL as an alternative?

tonsoI didn't consider the Black Label. I've heard that is amazing also. You have three options with the Aurender when it comes to charging. chg(+) which takes power from whatever device you have hooked up to it (good for hooked up to a computer), chg(a) which will charge automatically when music isn't playing, and chg(-) which plays off the Flows main battery. I wish there was more info on this unit across the internet, but unfortunately there isn't. I've had to learn all this by playing with it. Still love it as much as the day I got it! If you end up purchasing, I have a few recommendations on better cables (the cables that are included are only decent).

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.
