Good DAC for a beginner, does what it needs to
I was mainly in the market to buy a headphone amplifier for my new DT 770 80 ohms, and on my search, I got into the deep rabbit hole of audio equipment. This DAC AMP seemed like a great cheap option to satisfy my power needs, and give me some options. Since the only thing I can compare it to is my motherboard audio, maybe my review doesnt hold too much water. But it's good. Drives my headphones loud and clear, and has a nice clean sound.
It has one weird issue though. When I have RCAs connected to it's back, but the amplifier is turned off, the headphone output sounds deep fried. It's clipped and and sounds weird. But if I turn the speaker amp on, the dac headphone output gets fixed. Odd little thing. In the photo I shared you may even see the amp next to it being turned on, but its volume is set to zero. A simple workaround, but still a necessary workaround to a small issue.
I got the gray one because I thought I'd be a hipster and not get the black like everyone else recommends. But please get the black. The white text on the gray face plate is so invisible, it makes me squint even though I sit like a foot away from it.
I would have probably gotten the IFI ZEN DAC, had I not needed two inputs for my PC and Switch. This works with the nintendo switch via USB by the way, which is really nice.
And thankfully I have not had it die on me, even though many reviews out there say it dies really fast, or straight up DOA. I'll probably update this review if it does on me. Two weeks it, so far so good.

NabalazsHi, how did you get yours to work with your Nintendo Switch? My Switch simply does not detect it at all.

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.
