For mixing/mastering primarily via headphones you should try to audition a couple of the external sound interfaces, bring your 6XX with you and ask if you can plug them in at the store. Preferrably bring some of your music as well. You want to make sure the headphone amp in the interface is up to the task. 6XX are 300 ohms Z if im not mistaken, so make sure you're listening at a comfortable level and have headroom left to spare.
I bought a E-MU Tracker Pre used very cheaply and was positively surprised at both the SQ and drive of the built-in amp., driving my 58X. Software drivers are always tricky for old hardware, and you do not state if you're on macOS or Windoze, fortunately for me, there is a community driver for the E-MU for Mac.
You could check out Avid Mbox Pro 3, should be around 100euro/dollars/pound used, and seems to come highly recommended, i used a Digidesign Digi001 way back and it was a solid performer.
Gpod Luck and let us know how it goes!

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.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.

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.

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.
