Introducing Drop + Xduoo OTL Tube Headphone Amp
We’re excited to announce our first collaboration with xDuoo—and our first-ever OTL tube amplifier. Building on xDuoo’s extensive product line and solid reputation in the amplifier space, we worked closely with their engineers to create a brand new tube amplifier designed to pair with high-impedance headphones like our ever-popular HD6XX and HD58X. It’s the Drop + xDuoo OTL Tube DAC/Amp—and it’s totally tubular.

This seems very similar to the TA-03s with an updated DAC and non-Russian tubes. If so, I would imagine it sounds fantastic with the HD-6xx's.

Need to know more about the volume control. How many steps does it have? Hopefully it's not just 24 as that usually gives too much difference from one step to the next.

Glad to see a "gain" switch. I've had an XDuoo all in one for years. It desperately needs a high gain setting for many cans. The 9038 dac chip is one I'm familiar with. When implemented with proper supporting circuitry I can certainly live with its sound. If it ain't priced like it contains magic inside the tubes, I'd be interested. I have MQA dacs. It's support or lack thereof doesn't mean a thing to me.

So how is this different from the TA-30? I am interested but it seem like the TA-30 with less features. Help me understand.

RilchuTA-30 uses a hybrid topology which where the TA-84 is an OTL circuit which is completely different, although both incorporate the use of tubes. If you plan to use low impedance headphones like Planars then you would want a Hybrid amp like the TA-30. OTL amps like the TA-84 work best with high impedance headphones such as the 6XX which is 300 ohms.

All of them. Either because the maker is paying more for the chip that is more expensive because the chip manufacture has to pay for the unfolding code license or the maker must purchase the code license directly from MQA if they are building in-house.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
