Or something like the NuForce HA-200 without the balanced I/O. I love the sound of mine!

PC38X and PC37X with EPOS H6PRO magnetic detachable microphone
Would anyone like to see Drop collaborate with EPOS on releasing versions of the PC37X and PC38X with the EPOS H6PRO magnetic detachable microphone? The current microphone isn't terrible, but it feels a bit dated and is far too bulky. The EPOS H6PRO microphone is slimmer and has a slightly longer arm. It would also be great if they came with a basic pop filter to put over the microphone and maybe even an all white colourway?

Hi, could it be possible to make the Koss ESP Leather Carrying Case available to buy on Drop for those outside north America?
I wanted to buy it when I bought my ESPs from the last run here on Drop but it was sold out everywhere. It's on sale again on Koss website but they only ship to U.S.A or Canada so I'm wondering if there's enough people interested to maybe have a run of this beauty on Drop. Anyone?

An upgrade to my Little Dot MKII
I made the decision to upgrade my modest Little Dot MKII Tube Amplifier this past week and it just got here yesterday. This is a used piece of gear, it's the first generation Woo Audio WA6. I wanted to go with Silver as it would match my Solid State Burson Conductor 3 Performance Headphone Amp/DAC/Pre-Amp, as well as the Schiit Lokius I also picked up recently. I wound up with Black; it was in the best condition of those I saw available, it was priced better and it came from an audio dealership with a brick & mortar store which displayed a working telephone number and an A+ rating with the BBB so I knew that I was probably safe in dealing with the gentleman. The Lokius is brand new. What I've learned is that I am going to have to do some figuring out how to deal with all of this new stuff, including how to get it all onto my 6 foot desk along with my lamp and modem. Apparently the Lokius has to be connected between Amp and DAC, so it would fit in between...

Balanced I/O. Intended for microphone cables carrying extremely low-level signals, balanced I/O offers no benefit for line-level signals or headphone output where cable-induced noise is insignificant relative to source noise. It's just for show.
Hybrid operation. Adding a superfluous tube stage to a line-level signal path? At best there is no audible impact and the tube is just for show. At worst the circuit emphasizes tube colorations.
What is not a marketing gimmick? A Class A output stage. Class A operation greatly simplifies low distortion audio circuit design and power supply regulation, with real improvements in audio reproduction. The tradeoff is greater heat dissipation and idling power draw.
The beauty of headphones is that their low power requirements compared with passive speakers make Class A amplification (tube or transistor) possible in a small cost-effective design.
So how about a Massdrop designed Class A unit, without wasting money on balanced I/O or tubes? Maybe something along the lines of a discounted, customized Schiit Asgard 2?
