The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Meze 99 Noir
Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.

Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

During my testing I came up with the following.
Schiit Asgard 2 vs LCX: Schiit Asgard 2 is definitely a tad brighter compared to the LCX, but not by much. The Asgard 2 definitely has more power when comparing Single Ended (SE) vs Single Ended (SE). When Asgard 2 is compared to the LCX Balanced, well it's about even from what I can tell as far as power goes. Balanced with the LCX has better sound stage and just more character in it’s music.
SDAC 4452 vs Bifrost 4490: I cannot for the life of me tell these two apart. The only difference is the SDAC only supports 24/96 while the 4490 supports 24/192. The SDAC standalone is $79.99 here on MD, while the Bifrost is $399, no brainer there.
Also the LCX is a jack of all trades, it’s so versatile with its 3.5mm output (LCX DOES NOT NEED TO BE POWERED ON in this mode). I currently have the 3.5mm split to my CTH and Logitech Z-5300 5.1. I no longer have to switch audio sources on my PC. Did I mentioned you can run both the Balanced and SE output at the same time? This is great for when I’m testing and comparing two headphones. There’s also two other “Inputs” for whatever you want to add in the future.
I spent $399 + $250 for the Schiit Stack, lets not forget you have to pay for shipping. I sold my Schiit Stack, never looking back. The LCX-SDAC for $379 is worth every penny. I’m perfectly happy with my LCX-SDAC + CTH combo. Highly recommended.
