Order Cancelled? Also internal error changing address
I just purchased the Sennheiser 58x and when double checking the transaction tab of the website it shows as cancelled. Also, I tried to change the address (wanting to add additional needed information), but I get the prompt "internal error". Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Pc38 mic issue on pc
So I bought the pc38s which sound amazing compared to all I have used prior, but no matter what I try, I can not get the mic working on my pc! It works fine when plugged into a controller for console, but simply wont on the pc. I own msi ge75 raider, it has two ports, one for headset, one for the mic! The cords that come with the headset are split into two, each is the 3 pin I think (TRS)... Maybe the port on the computer requires 4 pin or what else can I try?
Thank you in advance!

Best DAC to pair with Sennheiser HD6XX and Drop + THX AAA 789 Amp?
I just put in my order the other day for the HD6XX and Drop THX 789. I am not sure what DAC I should pair with them. I have read a bunch of the posts here and got some ideas but I still can't decide. Right now I was thinking of waiting for the Drop + Grace Balanced DAC or the SMSL SU-8 to drop again or even grabbing one of them off of Amazon. Would either of those be a good pairing or is there something better I should be getting? The only thing I don't like about the SU-8 is that it is silver. The SU-9 comes in black but it's more expensive. My only requirement is that I want it to be balanced. I would prefer something in the $200-300 range but would be willing to spend more if it's absolutely worth it and going to be a noticeable difference. Thanks!

Why DACs /Headphone amps?
I see a lot of DAC and headphone amps on the site, and I'm wondering why I would need one (or both?). I listen sometimes on my computer, sometimes on an iPad or iPhone, and sometimes on an old school stereo with a Sony receiver. All of these are compatible with headphones, so what's the purpose of getting a DAC/Headphone amp? And what is the difference? And do I need both?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this for me.

I say the hell with headphones and amps--I'm liberating my ears from sweaty cups and pads, and my head from torturous clamps!
Enjoying my new Edifiers au damn naturel ;- )

finally upgraded the old setup, opinions on the modius/magnius in terms of an “endgame” balanced DAC and Amp?

- Setup: PC --> SMSL SU-8 v2 (RCA out) --> RCA output switch output 1 (RCA out) --> THX AAA 789 --> HD600 (XLR)
- Note: RCA output switch output 2 (RCA out) --> iLoud MM speakers
- Player App: Foobar 2000
- Issue: When I stop the track completely and play, the audio doesn't start up simultaneously, instead it pops with some distortion on right channel first(with a bit of a pulse-ish feeling) then probably a quarter second after left kicks in and then everything goes on fine. However same track if I drag the time block back to start from beginning, both channel starts simultaneously and smoothly. It is as if the starting signal caught the amp off-guarded
- Troubleshooting done:
- I tried the speakers which are at equivalent hierarchy as the amp, this issue didn't occur, so unlikely issue with DAC output
- I also skipped the RCA output switch to directly hook my DAC with AMP, this issue persists, so it is not problem with my switch
- Tried using 6.5mm SE end and XLR end on my HD600 to connect to 789, both have this issue
- Also swapped Foobar with some other lossless players, same issue persists
Any thoughts on what could be the reason? Should I try XLR connection between SU-8 and 789 (that's pretty much the last idea I can think of)? Thanks in advance.
