Setup: I bought THX 789 for the massive output of idk 6W/32ohms, but whenever I try to use my Sundara/Modhouse Argon/HD600/Arya V2/...whatever, I cannot reach decent listening levels in terms of db without getting this scratching/hissing noise in the background ... I think it's distortion. (DAC I use: Geshelli labs - J2, set to max volume) Settings: With an XLR output, gain setting level at 2/3 and the volume knob set to 2-4 o'clock, hearing distortion from a 250-350$ THX amp shouldn't be a thing, should it? With somewhat hard to drive headphones, I'm not reaching 70db, but I can already hear this godforsaken noise on all tracks without a constant stream of sound. If you dare to up the volume past 4 o'clock, or past 12 on gain setting 3/3, this noise becomes so loud, it might as well be an additional instrument Music: The tracks I usually listen to involve so few instruments, that you don't have a constant stream of sound. (e.g. Creep - Lena Hall) I'd love to get some feedback!...

Wanted to alert everyone that normally we would just extend the drop and ride it through the end of the month at least (still selling like hot cakes) but due to a technical limitation with some of our payment systems we need to close this drop at midnight tonight. Those that have joined will be charged and the ship date remains the same.
However, we do want to share as many of our awesome new headphones and IEM's (listening to RE-00's as I type) with as many people as possible so we're going to open what is technically a new drop exactly two minutes after this one closes. Sorry in advance for any confusion this causes!
