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.

FiiO E10K - zero static, stay cool, no problem with windows 10 SMSL M2 - zero static, stay cool, didn't get to test it on windows 10 Schiit Fulla - yes static, gets warm during use, mostly ok but bugs out once in a long while on windows 10 UDAC-3 - zero static, stay cool, also bug out on windows 10
STATIC This depend on how much shielding the case has, thick aluminum shell generally do help with this. Also how much filtering it has against noisy USB connections. Using a shielded USB cable will fix this but it might have negative impact in sound quality.
GETS WARM I find usually small portable DAC/AMP don't dissipate heat too well, the slightly bigger ones seems to do better. Seems to be common.
WINDOWS 10 This is hit or miss, some companies seems to pull it off some doesn't. Though based on CEntrance's comments, I wonder if their driver will work on other products to fix the Windows 10 issue.
I've been using the new beta driver that CEntrance has sent out to some testers and Windows 10 seems quite stable now.
I remember having a micro usb cable with a ferrite bead on it, but I'm not sure where it is now. Hopefully some cleaner power is all that's needed to fix this issue, as every headphone around me seems to be quite low-impedance.. I'm a bit doubtful though, considering that I've heard the noise floor on every computer I've tested.
