I have a schiit Hel, it’s really good when I’m gaming, when I want to just play games without a mic and listening to music, I use a Schiit magni +3 with Schiit Modi, I find it gives great sound esp for the price point. I think either are great, with Magni/modi better sound experience I think but can’t go wrong with Hel for gaming or streaming also

If you’d want to get a mod mic wireless then I’d go the magni/modi stack. If you want a mic, either go the Hel with a wired mod mic. With the Hel, it can drive the 6xx no problem and you have the freedom of adding the mic. If you want, you could also get a blue yeti and go with the Schiit magni/modi for better sound IMO.

ANY amp/Dac would be good for the footsteps etc....depends on how you EQ the sound in software also.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) ===> Optical 3.5mm to SPIDIF ===> Prozor DAC ===> RCA to XLR Balanced input ===> Loxjie p20 ====> Balanced out ===> HD 6XX
I start with optical to completely eliminate noise/hiss, and using the balanced input/output on P20 the sound is just amazing.

I already bought it but thanks XD
I'm using it as a desktop amp. yeah the amp does a good job powering it. my only problem is that it doesn't have enough space between high volume and low volume but it is not actually a problem so...

I am undersided between the THX AAA ONE Linear currently at $199 or the AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier for $250 this is a black friday week. The ONE linear has a bit more single ended power 275 mW at 300 Ohms and the 789 200 mW 300 ohms. I don't own a Balanced cable for the HD6xx and from what I understand "true" balanced is not really popular anyway.
Topping L30 280 mW, 300 ohms lower price.

The "Monolith Liquid Spark" is a great amp for $100.00. One of the best sounding cheap amps I've heard. My favourite amp that I have is the "S.M.S.L. SP200 THX" amp.

The HD6XX matches up really well with OTL headphone amp's. I think the Eufonika line of OTL headphone
amplifiers will be a great match. My Eufonika H4 sounds great with my HD6XX and HD 600.

How to pair Shanling player with Anker Soundcore IEMs?
I Can't figure out how to pair my Shanling Q1 audio player with my Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro wireless IEMs. Can anybody help?
(I actually didn't even know the Shanling had bluetooth - I don't think it said so in the description on DROP - until this morning when I went to the Shanling site to download the USB driver).
Thanks in advance for any help!

Headphone amp with 80 ohm beyerdynamic headphones
I ordered my first pair of audiophile headphones, the beyerdynamic 990 80 ohm version because the nice man at audio46 said it wouldn’t need a headphone amp. My Q is although it wouldn’t need it, would adding a headphone amp to my iPhone make the 80 ohm sound better? Or is it strictly for the 250 ohms that they have to use a headphone amp . I mostly listen to hip hop and r&b music >

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!

Hello Handsome!

Yes, I'm talking to you, you big black, nondescript, cylindrical-looking bundle of coils and magnets! I have to say, for a guy who looks like a can of Darth Vader brand coffee, you sound damn good! Actually BOTH of you sound damn good ;- )
Yup, I just added a pair of Echo Studios to my bedroom (one on each nightstand). Each Studio contains a five-speaker assortment, including a down-firing 5.3" woofer. And buddy, they WOOF!
What made me finally decide to go this route was laziness; yes I could have found good Bluetooth speakers for less, and maybe even good WIFI speakers, but I confess to having developed a fairly serious relationship with Alexa--we have long talks each morning discussing the weather and the news, etc. And she always plays what I tell her too.
Second reason is my on again/off again relationship relation with Amazon Music. With the advent of Amazon Music HD, we're back on again. One of the benefits of combining Amazon Music HD with the Studio is the...

Alright Drop, this is getting old.
I've had 4 packages ship for orders in the past year. Two of which have been outright lost by FedEx. Drop's customer support has then made it seem like they were doing me some kind of favor by replacing the lost items and not just taking my money without me actually receiving anything. Now one of my packages, shipped to the same address as the others (which hasn't changed), has a FedEx delivery exception because the "address or apartment/suite number is wrong." And as always, FedEx won't talk to me about it at all, only Drop.
As I've done a number of times now I've fired off a Drop support request into the void and now I'll wait to see what response they'll give me. Hopefully they'll take care of this as they have in the past, but it's aggravating that I end up having to contact their support team with essentially every order I make. Especially given that they refuse to provide a phone number (though I can understand why if other people have as many issues as I've had).
At this...

Douk Audio?
Has anyone had any experience with Douk Audio preamp/headphone amps? I have a variety of headphones that I use, from multi-driver IEM to closed and open back dynamic, including a few sets from Drop. But I recently picked up a pair of planar magnetic from Andover Audio and while they play reasonably well even with just my phone's audio output, I'd like to get a decent entry level amp for some extra oomph.
I found a preamp/headphone amp from Douk Audio that seems to fit generally what I'm looking for, their P1; but I wasn't familiar with the brand and wanted to get some feedback if anyone had any experience with this brand or model.

A Brief History of My Life So-Far...
ABOUT ME
I am a retired electrical/mechanical engineer. US Coast Guard graduate. Sailed the high seas as Merchant Marine for 13 years. Briefly worked with NASA for 5.5 years in Florida. I left to start my own Hi-Tech Computer company. My company did anything and everything with computers and computer systems. We were especially known for our Graphics and Gaming computers we built. We built to order Bespoke systems. We were very proud of our workmanship. My company was in operation for almost 27 years. I still build for myself and my family members. I am 74 years old now.
Audio Visual has been my lifelong hobby. I love reading Hard science fiction; an example would be the Author Brandon Q. Morris. I like listening to books also.
I play few games however, I am addicted to Star Citizen. I do try other games like Alien Isolation, Elite Dangerous, and EVE Online.
