Did my THX 789 amp break?
Last year I bought the THX 789 amp and I loved it. It drove all my headphones well (I hated it with the Elex but loved it with everything else), but all of a sudden every time I would adjust the volume, my headphones would clip. I freaked out and shelved the amp and bought a Schiit Magnius to allow me to still use my balanced headphones for the time being. For context, I do enjoy the Magnius (loved it with the Elex) but it was noticeably less impressive than the 789 with most of my headphones. Has everyone else experienced this? If so what do I do? I don't want to take it apart to fix it if possible.

Hello out of context and unrelated post, but just trying some luck with you if you ever response. I have the THX 789 but do not have the Schiit Modius. How does the Modius sounded and how is the sound signature and performance together with 789+Modius ?
Just so you know, massdrop THX 789 is poorly design, it has many issue and most people do not have the problem. I doubt its user inducer but you can tell the overall quality and design of the amplifier is poor eventhough aesthetically simply and attractive. Mine previously, broke, white LED unable to turn to red, power button has issues here and there. The fact that you mentioned you have volume clipping issue is something that am not surprised even though I do not experience the same issue as you did.

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.
