Hello! I’m In the market for my first tube amp to match with my 6xx’s. I’ve been looking at the Little bear mk. 2 and the Darkvoice, but have zero experience with tube amps besides my guitar amps. From what I’ve been told, tubing these headphones really brings them to life! If anyone could help me decide, I’d appreciate it!

I was looking at feedback about Nuraphone G2, seems its good headphone. Why is Massdrop not getting to make a customised version for its members?

I'd love to see what kinds of DACs people would like to see Drop make. I'll start off... My end game would probably cost well beyond $600 despite knowing Drop would probably not break the $400 price point. I've got two lists of desired features below: the first being the features I care most about, and the second being those I don't care about but will always be pleased to see. PLEASE, PLEASE: THX AAA 789 footprint and case style Topping D90 performance Top-of-the-line AKM chip... maybe two Fully balanced Remote Bluetooth 5.0 (AptX, LDAC, all that stuff) USB: 32-bit 768kHZ, DSD 512, MQA (I mostly listen to Tidal); SPDIF: 24-bit 192kHz, DoP 256 (I don't need this level of craziness, but increased mass appeal increases likelihood of sales) USB-C! PLEASE just go with USB-C. USB-B is a minimum. If I see mini or micro, I'll enter your grandma's house and spill marinara sauce mixed with motor oil on her favorite chair. Selectable (forced) sample rate Selectable filters MEH: Fixed /...

I listen to rock,hard rock and metal. I really want the cymbal crashes and the drums to stand out. I really enjoy high energy songs like "time bomb" by hollywood undead or "bang bang" and "pray" by the same band. I also enjoy power metal by bands like rhapsody,stratovarius, dream theater.

I currently have the Mayflower ARC Mk2, would this be able to run the Sennheiser HD 6XX to its full potential and is it a good pair? What mic would also be suitable for this setup?

Saw someone sharing their on the go setup. This isn't a pro audio setup by any means but it's what I as a newbie in good audio use on the go. (Tin T2, iPhone 11, KZ audio Lightning to MMCX cable)

Hi, Can anyone please recommend what is "the best" replacement ear pads for the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II? Velour is preferred although I know that makes the headphones lose some of the ANC. Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: The headphones allow for detaching the cable, so a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male is the type of cable I would need Hi there, a week ago I received my Philip's SHP9500 headphones and so far I love them, except for the extremely long and quite frankly, sub-par cable. By sub-par I mean that it feels cheap and it tangles easily and I'm just counting the days until it gets stuck in the wheels of my chair. So I have but one question, Where do you usually buy your cables? I'm looking for suggestions, preferably not Amazon and if possible, nothing DIY as I don't own any soldering equipment to make my own cables. Thanks in advance
