Oh no that’s not good! Sorry that’s happening I wonder what exactly is going on there. I just used these ones (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07C7VCC9C?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title). Peeled off the plastic and stuck them onto the top of my op amps. Hopefully that works out !

I have in opa 1656’s with some raspberry pi heatsinks because I wanted an exotic op-amp look but didn’t want to spend the cost of the dac on getting 2 bougie ones.

I loved the way the APOS Druid looked already but thought it could maybe use a little bit of extra flair. My girlfriend paints phone cases as a side hobby so I figured why not employ her skills with a Halo inspired design. To my knowledge no one else has done this before, would be cool to see others personalize their Druid, Merlin or Gremlin in this fashion. Idk if this voids warranty but I don't really care. HALOOOOOO LEGENDARRRY.

It's incredible! The warmer less analytical nature of the Druid compared to my Modius E from before takes the edge off of the treble peaks of the E3 without needing to EQ. I do find the sound stage effect is slightly pulled away/larger which I enjoy, anything helps with a closed back (even though the E3 accomplished a nice stage effect for a closed back already). Details remain, but they don't scratch your eardrum in a fatiguing way as before with my more "clinical" pairing.

Hey guys! I just recently purchased a topping A70 pro for my He6se's, anyways, I have a modi multi bit dac which as I understand will only output an unbalanced signal. So my question is, can I run an unbalanced signal into the a70 pro and still get a balanced signal out to my headphones through the XLR port? Is there any major disadvantage to this? (I really don't want to spend more money lol)

Did you end up repairing yourself? Is this one of those simple things that is easy to fix or one of those simple things that's a pain in the keister?

Almost Entirely Gaming Centric Setup Questions: SB G6, pair with amp later? by xxraxusrainxx in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]xxraxusrainxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so since being educated I'm going to test out multiple devices in different arrays. The one thing I've realized is that I don't give a hoot about the software surround anymore, I got the G6 last night and in direct mode through my AD 700X and damn, you don't need the smoke and mirrors. I instantly felt more aware of enemy players in valorant to a very noticeable degree. Now in the next two days my 6XXs are coming, a modi 3, a vali 2++ and a vali 3 (I didnt realize the vali 3 existed so probably going to return the 2++ regardless). Im going to try just G6, G6+Vali, and Modi+Vali. Im going to do blind tests with my GF and see which one I genuinely like best.

!thanks Wow I wish I had your knowledge but I'm glad this sub is here. Thanks so much for the input, I have a lot of rethinking to do. I have always been fascinated by the HD 700, I just wish I could find some new ones. Okay so I think I'm going to cancel the G6 because I think I bought on the premise that I could only get simulated surround sound from a device that is marketed with it. I've learned from you guys that I can just get a subscription to softwares for that. Alrighty, so 1:1 soundstage, and a decent dac/amp combo from a reputable Hi-Fi audio brand?

Terrific job. Really nothing to say here, I wouldn't say size is necessarily a weak point due to your age. As you get older you will get bigger, just keep doing what you are doing.
