First, my purpose is in-doors general music listening (most Pop, some classical), no gaming. My current experience is Sony MDR-v6 (need replacement due to damaged pad) and Sony wh-1000xm3 for full size, and Airpods pro and Audiosense T800 as IEM. I have a USB dac/amp Lotoo PAW s1 but can invest more if necessary. I am looking for inexpensive (sub $400, can be a little more) full-size headphone that can significantly WOW me with my current gigs. Is it possible or I am asking too much for my budget?

Hi I’m looking for a DAC AMP like the Topping but with the following specs which I can’t seem to find •DAC with USB and digital inputs •Amp which can drive speakers •Analogue outputs to feed a power amp •Bluetooth compatible if it’s not possible in one unit then any ideas for matched units would be good thx

I currently have an Astro TR mixamp, and use it to mix between Discord Voice chat on PC and Game audio on Xbox, however I am looking for something that does this without built in forced digital surround sound as I have AKG K702's on the way and want a more pure sound. Thanks for any help/suggestions. Edit: K702's

I 've been seeing conflicting reports on that. Some are saying that they paid as much as 40%. Yet some are saying they haven't paid anything. Paying 40% customs defeats the whole purpose of buying affordable drops.

Hello, newbie here. I have been reading a lot of discussions here for the last couple of days and learned a lot already. I'd appreciate if I can get some opinions on a few issues since there are a lot of people here with a lot more experience than I have. My entry level Sennheiser PX100 IIi have died on me recently. I have been using it for 3-4 years connected to Fiio E10K. So, I have been doing some research and decided to upgrade to Drop + Grace Design Standard DAC Balanced connected to Drop + THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier. The sound source is my laptop. But I have read somewhere in the discussions here that the DAC is not really balanced because its chip is not capable of it. Is this really true? If this is true I guess it makes more sense to buy the one without balanced connection since it is cheaper. Does the sound quality differ between balanced/unbalanced connections in this DAC? Also I'd appreciate any headphone recommendations. I mostly listen to electronic music and...

Hi, Im a little frustrated, my item is going to the wrong address and it seems like i cannot change it. i had provided the correct shipping address on the account and when i made the purchase. This correct address was confirmed to me in the receipt i had received from drop. I have a downloaded pdf and email to prove this. However i can see on DHL tracking that it has listed an incorrect address, it has reached my country and now a new carrier Yodel will be taking over. I have contacted DHL (bot) and they have told me i need to contact the supplier (DROP) to get the address changed. Ive also tried contacting Yodel (my package goes to Yodel after i pay customs ). Yodel has told me that they cannot change the address it is going to unless a failed attempt has been made at the address or they can put the item into their network and i can re-order from the supplier ( ive no idea how this works) Obviously i want my item and i don't want it going to the incorrect address when this...

my new collection

So I just got the HD6xx and the Schiit Heresy and Modi stack. I put in my RCA cables from the Modi to the Heresy and then plugged in the usb from the Modi to my pc. I plugged the headphones in and everything sounds great. However, there is this static and some pops in the left driver of my headphones when I'm using it. I don't want to jump to conclusions and think I have a faulty unit so I'm wondering if something is wrong with how I set everything up. Thank you.

I payed 45 dollars for one day shipping on the 16th and my package is set to be delivered on the 21st, I have read other forum posts recently of people saying they are not receiving items or response from drop. I got a refund for the shipping, and 10 dollar credit (thank you drop) I would just choose the free shipping for now even if you need a package ASAP.

Good night little Schiit stack, retiring to the bedside. Thank you, you were a great starter into audiophilia. Your big brothers will take it from here ;-)
