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

Drop should make a DT88X
Throughout my time as an audiophile I've read quite a lot of positive reviews regarding the DT880 Pro, especially the 600 ohms version, I've seen it being highly praised for it's build quality, comfort and sound, however there is one fault I'd point out: no removable cables. As much as the DT880 Pro is marketed towards professional usage ( at least that's what I think, given the "Pro" in it's name ) it is adored by the audiophile community, thus I'd love to see a more audio-enthusiast focused version which only difference would be having a removable cable with a 3.5mm connector on each cup. I reckon the benefits would be quite sizeable : you wouldn't be confined to the 3m cable of the original version; it'd possible to run it balanced (which would help with the endeavour of properly amplifying the 600 ohms version); should the cable fail due to an accident or the throes of time dealing with it would be much simpler and , finally, if you are part of Team...

Does anyone know of a site like the old MassDrop?
I've purchased many items from this site over the years but I've seen it go from a place that offered discounted prices on a variety of known items to being a simple MSRP store for their own products which amount to seemingly ONLY headphones and keyboards. Does anyone know of any other sites that actually offer group deals instead of being a self-serving storefront for their own brand?

What is the likelihood of a THX AAA tws earbud being made?
Considering the fact that the THX pandas exist, what is the likelihood that we will get a pair of tws earbuds with AAA tech. Do you guys think there's a market for it?

Drop THX AAA 789 updated version?
Received email that the THX AAA 789 "will be gone soon"... Does that mean they will soon come up with an updated version? I would like an updated model with the following: 1) More power 2) A preamp function with balanced outputs as well as SE 3) Balanced 4.4mm pentacon output next to 4pin-XLR and SE output. 4) Selector switch for SE / Balance inputs instead of toggle. 5) Selector switch for HP amp / preamp function An upgrade to use the AAA 888 chip would be nice too.

TOPPING DX7 PRO DAC/AMP - Will Not Power On
Any suggestions on how to fix a TOPPING DX7 PRO DAC/AMP that will not power on? I bought the unit 3 months ago and worked fine until recently. I've already checked the AC fuse, replaced the power cord and tried a different AC power outlet. Thanks!

Sennheiser HD6XX or HIFIMAN HE5XX? or Other?
Hey all, Not quite an audiophile, but a music lover and creator and could use some advice. First open-back pair I'll have purchased in a while. Had a pair of Grados, but sold as I never found time to listen with them in the right environment. Now that I'm working from home, feels like the right time to purchase, but of course listening through speakers when I can too! This is my lineup today for context, so might be nice to find something that fits within: Meze 99 Classics Audioquest NightOwl Airpods (Not pro, never like deep in-ear and headaches w/ ANC) Audio-Technica ATH-M50xbt (Arriving today in the mail. For work calls and listening on-the-go, have always gotten headaches and nausea from ANC; these seem like the best solution w/o. I did order the Sony XM4s just to do one final test, but will likely get the same headache and I've read they don't sound as good with ANC turned off, or when used with a wire. High hopes for the ATs as they seem to maintain the standard M50x...

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?
