The Poor-men's EndGame.
Not just my 6XX, also a JDS Labs Atom...and my New Khadas Tone Board. I don't care you say about USB as power. It cost me less than 400 bucks to plug this.

Forgive me if I'm missing something but isn't the el dac+ the same price as the tone board?

The Khadas board is awesome. Get yourself a case for it on amazon though. It’s $10 lol

You can spend less than $100 USD on a case by having it 3D printed here: https://www.treatstock.com/3d-printable-models/2412322-khadas-tone-board-case

You should give it a case. I was playing with my setup a lately with ifi's usb keys since my computer sends noise to my DAC (left channel picks up static noise from psu, while the right is affected by cpu load).
USB is really a crappy port for music applications. Once problem is solved, sound quality improved a lot.

I think you have a very capable board for line level output. If you got the chance to test drive some small gadgets from Amazon, you should. I had recordings to compare results with/without them. https://drive.google.com/open?id=11w68IahoXNXINUVfghD-O46CxGFLNW1H
I would recommend you at least cut usb power from computer and use something like Apple wall charger (which is actually pretty good).
My PC passed hiss to my speakers via UD503. I noticed them as soon as I got usb cable connected. Surprisingly resolution and soundstage improved as a pleasant byproduct.

Kris2014Yes, usb is crap, but it can be cleaned up a bit until we get something better.... https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-airist-audio-r-2r-dac/talk/2423442

Swap the Khadas Tone Board with a JDS OL Dac and that looks like my desk!

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.
