I am looking for a DAC/AMP USB that has 3.5mm and 7.1 output. I could buy the SoundBlaster X3 for $105 Is there any other thing that is better for less than $200?

It looks like the consensus is that the Blessing 2 Dusk is the benchmark in terms of sound quality for a mid-range IEM, but it is quite large and some people report that it can get uncomfortable. I have tried several IEM in the past (Massdrop EE Zeus, UE Triple Fi 10, Mangrid Tea, Buds Plus...

my cable died and I need a replacement cable for it.     i searched around the forums and the name "dark lord telfon" often pops up.     problem is, it doesn't have a microphone.     can anyone recommend a good replacement cable for UE Triple Fi 10vi with microphone under $60     thanks!

the stock cable on my TripleFi 10 broke ages ago and I haven't use it since.   I am planning to use it again so I am looking at high quality and durable cable for it.   I do not want to have the stock cable as it is horrible.   if possible, I want to have like a braided cable so it...
