Is there a rearview, so we can see the connections to be made?
And I too would like an actual THX AAA power amplifier--10 to 20wpc would be fine!

Hi, it's me, March 5th. We haven't gotten one single update about production or timelines since this product was announced.

You always get what you pay for... but that doesn't mean you always get what you pay for relatively speaking. What I see DROP doing is making manufactures aware of basic math where increased sales volume at a lower price can exceed the profit margin of lower sales volume at a much higher price which allows unnecessary features used to support a higher price be dropped...

Hmm, this might actually be a good fit for me. I’m new to this audiophile stuff and would love some opinions. I just picked up a pair of 6xx open-back headphones and play most of my music on vinyl. I’ve been using Yamaha studio monitors as my speakers and like the sound other then the total lack of low end. They give great separation and are obviously really clean but know that studio monitors are kind of frowned upon in the vinyl community. I’ve been going back-and-forth between the idea of buying passive speakers or just getting a sub to match the studio monitors
One other issue that I have is that there’s no volume control on my turntable so I’m constantly going back-and-forth between the two studio monitors that are somewhat awkwardly placed to be a just that. This amp sounds like it could power my studio monitors better than the preamp build into my turntable and would also work for my new open back headphones.
I want great sound on a budget but also want to be building in the right direction. Any ideas or suggestions? A bit more costly, but I’ve also been looking at the topping a90 and a few tube amps including the dark voice. I’d really like an amp that will power headphones and work with my speakers ..but again, might move to pass if speakers at some point. I’m still learning a lot and any info or opinions would be really helpful.

The IEM trek continues.
Nothing fancy here but I have purchased a few more under $100 pairs. After the purchase of the Moondrop Aria I have since purchased the TIN T2, TIN T3 Plus, BLON BL03 and the final E3000. As a newbie to IEM's I have found some to be more comfortable than others, as is the case with different tips. I have really been impressed by the amount of sound that these little things can generate, and probably even more given how inexpensive these are. Sure, I know that they get to being much more costly. I'm not sure I wish to venture too far down the rabbit hole on IEM's. I like them for portability. And the cheaper ones won't hurt so much if they break or get lost. How much better does it get at the $300 price point? $500? $1000? I'd rather dump $500 or a grand on a pair of over ear headphones, personally.

Got a pair of R9Ds and man I look goofy but they sound great even using the R2R.

Got the ETYMOTIC RESEARCH ER2SE IEM a couple days ago. Experimented with different tips: for me, the foam ones are the only ones that provide adequate bass. And adequate is the right word: decent...

Looking for a 2 pin recessed cable, no memory wire, love 90degree 3.5mm jack
Hello, say looking for a 2 pin recessed cable, in a 3.5mm jack. I'm in need of one without a formed loop or memory wire. My custom alclair studio3 have the cable out the bottom to fit under my motorcycle full fCe helmet. The rigid wire can cause issues with the seal and let in wind noise... My current cable is the standard black 3.5mm with memory wire... (I could do a balanced 2.5 from my dac/amp, but my phone usb C to 3.5mm for backup would be an issue if I ever used it) Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?? Thanks for your time.

- Ultra-low distortion AAA™ circuit with high-voltage swing

- Power to drive demanding headphones with ease (Up to 2000 mW at 32 Ohms, 1000 mW at 16 Ohms, and 275 mW at 300 Ohms)
- 3-position gain switch (allows for fine-tuning of signal-to-noise with any headphone or IEM)
