I have heard pretty great things about the Fiio BTR5. It is a mobile Bluetooth amplifier that costs about 120€ (in Europe). It also has a bass switch on the device as well as an app with an Equalizer. I hope that helped.

Schiit Modi into Loki into Magni gets you everything but mic control/input, it is more than your budget at $347 before cables.

I was going to recommend the GSX 1000, very clean and no audible floor noise, you will need a headset splitter if you are using a headset with a mic. I've never used anything other than the 24bit 96khz (which disables 7.1/eq presets) It does limit your future upgrade path however so keep that in mind. I think I'll be getting rid of mine shortly, might help you keep the wallet looking firm.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.

- will not 'break the bank' - preferable under $200...
- I would prefer it to have mic input but it is not a 'must' requirement.
- I would prefer it to be 'external' device. Not a must though. Need controls on the desk though.
- I would prefer it to work 'driverless'. So... hardware-based.
- I would like it to have some kind of hardware equalizer.
- I would like to be able to connect (computer) speakers and headphones the same time
- it does not need to be 5.1/7.1 etc. I prefer good stereo over these systems.
Does anything like this exist? Closest to all checkmarks is Sennheiser GSX1000... i guess... not the newest technology though (unit is pretty old?)... Next one is Schiit Hel (no equalizer though). Looked at Schiit Magni + Modi (no mic, equalizer is another $100) Looked at Soundblaster G6 - it is dependable on drivers/software. Anything else out there? Help? Which one would you chose? Oh... and current headphones: 6XX, maybe I am going to upgrade in future...
