How does it drive the 1990 pros? Im getting some 6xx and dont think this will have the power to really use them.

Picard.TNGFor a 250 ohm set of headphones, the 1990 is fairly efficient so the amp does a fairly decent job with them. It's definitely able to achieve uncomfortable/damaging levels of volume, and the sound quality is pretty decent especially considering the price. The 1990 is a very resolving set of phones, so any "insufficiencies" in the amplification will be easily noticed. Like I stated in my review, it does have a warmer sound and is not as resolving as my JDS Atom amp; which is fine considering that a lot of Beyerdynamics have a tendency to be on the brighter side. I've ran both my DT880 and DT990 (both 600 ohm versions) on this amp. I can max out the volume knob with those two cans and the sound outputs are still a bit low and certainly lacking in depth, but they are 600 ohms so keep that in mind. I personally don't have any experience with an HD6xx so I can't speak with any authority, but from the reviews I've read/watched of them, this amp shouldn't have any issues driving the 300 ohms of the 6xx. The sound, however, will probably sound rather lackluster from this amp with the 6xx. Another problem may perhaps be the warm sound output of the amp, and the Sennheiser "veil". Since many report Sennheisers to be a bit lacking in the highs, the warm sound output of the amp may further exacerbate the masking of treble with the 6xx. Like I said, I don't have a 6xx so please don't take my word as truth; this is all just an educated guess. If I were asked to make a decision on a new amp purchase for a 6xx, I would personally go with the JDS atom or a Schiit Magni+ if I were in the ~$100 price range. If you're able to swing the extra cash, I would personally go with the JDS El Amp II. $250 may be quite a swing from the $50 of this amp, but if you're going for the quality of sound that the 6xx is known for, I would highly recommend it. You should check out DMS's review of the JDS El Amp on Youtube. I hope this helps at least a little.

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.
